Ok, I'm not whining, but I did really enjoy the Utter Rubbish button. Sometimes you want to really bring the hate, and "meh" doesn't cut it.

Alright people, you all seem in need of the etymologic authority that only an American 20-something steeped in our tradition of disaffection can provide. "Meh," in the American context, derives from a Simpson's episode (the fifteenth episode of the twelfth season, titled "Hungry, Hungry Homer"). Homer asks Bart and Lisa, at one point in the show, if they'd like to visit an amusement park, Blockoland. Bart and Lisa reply "Meh." It has some similarities with "whatever" but is far more complex than just that. Beyond just the mere disinterest implied by "whatever," the term "meh" bundles a wholly American sense of apathy and disaffection; the sentiment is, beyond being simply uninterested in a trip to Blockoland, I do not even have interest in considering whether or not I'd like to go to Blockoland. The appropriate reply to this explanation would be...
As a follow-up... I assumed it had made the rounds here, but maybe not. Harper Collins' dictionary of the English language included the word "meh" in this year's edition citing the aforementioned Simpson's episode as the source of the term. In fact, the term appeared in earlier episodes of The Simpsons as well, but perhaps "Hungry Hungry Homer" seemed most appropriate as "meh" as an interjection really has a 21st century American attitude about it.

Seriously, now, the 'meh' button is the first in a proposed rotating series of 'disaffection' buttons. You can use it when you feel 'eh,', 'meh,' 'feh,' or 'blah' about something. If you really object to something and want to report it to the mods, please use our new and improved 'inappropriate' button, at the top of the comment / review. We might change the name of it, but remember it's always there if you really want to 'wah!' about something, and wish it to be removed. All sarcasm aside, we hope that you'll use it to alert us to shilling reviews and other offenses to the community.
so this is like a ...british community..? I'm new so I really have no idea. I guess I'm gonna have to stop using american slangs on the site Chill :D

Oh great all the whining little biaches, got their way. I hope they feel smug when drinking their warm breast milk and having their mommy tuck them into bed knowing no one can click the "UR" button and cause them more sleepless nights. I can't believe that such a bunch of nut-hugging babies has to moan and bitch until the website change, fuck...did people really lose sleep over their "UR" score... ANyone who gives a shit about their "UT" UR" "Meh" needs a bitch slapping
I like "meh". But I think "meh" can co-exist peacefully with "Utter Rubbish". Listen, if someone jumps on here and posts something about Luna d'Autunno's chef dipping his balls in the marinara sauce, I want the ability to call it UTTER RUBBISH. Not "meh". Like OlMucky said, "meh" implies complete disinterest and apathy. Talking trash on Luna's chef or just making shit up about any place deserves a smackdown, not a "whatever". If you're too sensitive about this, perhaps you should stop writing reviews.
You know 100% the Chef doesn't dip his balls into the marinara sauce ?

I thought it was the anchovies that gave it that extra salty tang.
granteralus: your example would be a reason to use the "Inappropriate" flag.
answered about 1 month ago by Stosskraft
I don't know, but if someone is dipping their balls in the marinara sauce I think we need to know about it. But as long as the chef removes his balls before the meal is served then, the secret is best kept a secret. Maybe ball-dipping is part of the flavor enhancement? :)
Alright, perhaps that wasn't a good example, it was just the first that came to mind. Instead imagine if someone posted a review claiming that they use rat meat in the spaghetti and meatballs. Or perhaps dog poop in the ravioli. These are not accusations that deserve a "meh". And they're not "inappropriate". It's "Bollocks!" or "Utter Rubbish!"
Your quite correct !! Although having the Luna d'Autunno's chef's balls as the first thing that came into your head, you may have more pressing issues than the "meh" ;-)

Sauce secrets aside, I do think that granteralus has a valid point. It does seem like this shifts the meaning of the flag from "WRONG" to "I DON'T CARE". I think we should be able to mark something WRONG. PS Feel free to click the following simulated button to wean yourself off the 'UR': Was this answer ... Utter Rubbish (1)
Some more buttons we need: 1. Get a life 2. Leave the house. 3. Your a true idiot 4. Vanilla Ice was not so bad 5. I wear pink and brown paddington bear pajamas to bed.(most of our posters) 6. UR hurt my feelings so I complained and bitched until they changed it. feel free to add some :0
Fail! This conversation is OVER!!!
Epic fucking WIN, guys! I just pee'd a little bit.
Fail! See: http://failblog.org/ See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cilLKufYOhE Your shipment of FAIL has arrived.
The only problem with this is that all the Utter Rubbish clicks were erased. Now I have to go back and FAIL all of those douche bag reviews a second time.
Not so, Anon. "Fail" is the new "Utter Rubbish" and preserves the Trash that came before.
Iam with Hippo on this, the moderators of this site have given in to the whingers. Meh and fail dont hit the note that UR reaches !! Ive proberly got more UR's after Hippo and Jimbo, but dont lose sleep over it.
"Fail!" is the ultimate "Utter Rubbish". Fail is "Bollocks!" + "Utter Rubbish" + "You are an idiot" + "Your review stinks like marinara balls" + "You wear pink Paddington Bear pajamas" + everything else put together. There is no worse failure on the internets than Fail.
