To 'meh' or to 'mneh'?

Well done guys, I applaud your addition of a less inflammatory button. I don't want to be a nit-picker or seem ungrateful but when it comes to this 'word' I've always been partial to W.H. Auden's use of it in his poem Moon Landing:

"Worth going to see? I can well believe it.

Worth seeing? Mneh!"

If this is utterly silly or it's too difficult to change then please ignore me. I wonder if it's a subject worthy of discussion?

You know, mneh. Like if I said, "Have the Lions(Blues, Cats whoever) got a chance of winning the flag this year?" and you say,"Mneh."
I think the word I'm looking for is noncommittal, like "whatever" but without making us all sound like Valley Girls.

'Meh' to me is like saying "that's a bit iffy" or "not my cup of tra da".

Deleting Utter Rubbish completely is a mistake too -- why not leave both? There's something so savage and feral about "utter rubbishing" a review. It was a crunch tackling dismissal. It said: "Take that you cur! And that you bullshitting you charlatan! Think we were born yesterday?"

Meh is well.. it's a bit meh, isn't it?

And why no capital letter? That's a bit iffy too.

FTFY, Teddy. And, that's not green, it's avocado.

"Utter Rubbish" is feeling abused and is on sabbatical.
