Meh
"Meh" indicates a lack of interest or enthusiasm, and it recently became one of the newest words to be added to the Collins English Dictionary. Apparently, it was inspired by an episode of The Simpsons, where Homer tries to pry away the kids from watching T.V., and they respond with, "Meh."
We're wondering if meh was perhaps adapted from the Yiddish word "mnyeh," which also suggests indifference.
