Shirt.Woot

Looking at the geographic distribution of where wooters have wooted for this shirt, I sense regional variations in the usage of "meh." The upper midwest and pacific northwest are significantly lighter blue, with the east coast much darker, than is typically found 20 minutes into Today's Woot.

Pronouncing this "word" the way it is written creates a new utterance which is even more annoying than the original one. Fair warning: if you ever say "meh" to my face, I will punch you. And don't even think of wearing this shirt in my line of sight.

Well that's all the convincing I needed.

Last wooter to woot: mikegberg

This shirt loses the spirit of the utterace by boldly proclaming "Meh" as opposed to the more timid (and therefore more appropriate) "meh." Unless MS Word autocorrects "meh," then, to preserve its apathetic meaning, it would be best to leave it "Meh."

Or it could be because at midnight EST when stuff gets posted on shirt.woot!, out west it's 9 PM. Thus maybe many people on the east coast are sleeping while those on the west coast are still awake and buying shirts.

i will now dub thee "worst seller"

Forget the highly demanded "dislike" button, "meh" button is way more useful! :]

I give this shirt my highest rating: two thumbs right.

yup!...about to hit the hay now :] (1:36 am here now)

I approve. In for one.

It's a woman punching bread, so you don't actually need to see the clip.

She really "kneaded" a lot of dough for something.

Just like I knead this shirt

I noted that the geographic distribution is skewed upper-midwest/pacific northwest more than "is typically found 20 minutes into Today's Woot," which takes into account the time zones: I'm comparing this shirt to other shirts 20 minutes after they are posted. I live in the eastern time zone, get off work at 1AM, and usually go to bed around 2AM, so I check the sales distribution every day about the same time. And yes, I really do look at it every day - my job involves statistical calculations of regional cultures so I'm always interested.

No chance. While I don't care for 'meh', it's far less offensive than any derivative of 'newb', the now pervasive use of the word epic to inappropriately describe the commonplace, and just about every other instance meme-speak that has arisen in the past five years.

Edit: And I almost forgot, calling anyone who disagrees with you a 'hater' and 'u mad'. These are way worse than 'meh'.

As a sedative-carrying member of PETI (People for the Ethical Treatment of Interjections), I must protest the way that poor, defenseless "meh" is depicted on this shirt. Meh, along with "pah" and "feh," selflessly devote themselves to making our language more colorful, while scrupulously avoiding the addition of an extra letter, solely in the interest of remaining clean. The artist may mean well, but by "giving the thumb" to a cute, harmless expression, he encourages the weaning of "meh" and its brethren to the trash heap of etymology.

Do a good deed today, and adopt an idiom for only pennies a week!

I'm not buying this shirt - there's no telling where that thumb has been, butt I think I know where it's going.

It's not a thumb. Its Quagmire wearing a blue hat.

Try unseeing it now!

Hate the player, not the game... Or wait, shouldn't that be... meh.

This probably describes my reaction to things pretty accurately.

Meh, in for one.

Would like to point out that the hand/fist is in fact upside down. Were this an actual representation of the thumbs in the middle (describing neither up nor down) you'll notice that the wrist in fact has to be below, not above, the fist when executing this move. Just in case you disagreed, I bet you're still testing this theory out right now...

It wasn't like I was expecting a pi-day shirt or anything... whatever...

All the creative designs out there and this is what gets printed?

It's a poor joke, another unnecessary Facebook homage, and it's already been done on just about every other t-shirt site. Where is the gorgeous koi fish shirt? I've been waiting for that one to pop up.

This is how I feel about most of society, how generalized and muddy it has become. Muddied up meh emotions!

My checkbook says "We're done with Woodland Creatures?!?", but my heart says "We're done with Woodland Creatures? I has a sad." This shirt is too snorg for me. Dislike.

I wish Twitter had a like button too, as well as dislike on FB.

What about oy? Is oy safe around you? I'm not Jewish, but I like it for some reason. Just as I prefer zaftig to fat Didn't mean to quote the pic...and crap, you aren't the original poster of hatred towards meh... damn internet at 1:55 a.m.

I've often wished that Netflix would add a "meh" rating between "liked it" and "didn't like it." Most movies fit nicely in the meh catagory.

There are no states in the USA currently observing EST.

I don't see what you're saying. This image has the same wrist/thumb/hand setup as the Facebook version, except it's rotated clockwise 90 degrees. This works perfectly, so long as it's the right hand. If it were a left hand, then it'd be backwards and you'd have a basis for your complaint. Nothing against left-handers, it's just that it's modeled after the Facebook hand, which is a right hand.

Right hand is best hand!


Oh, btdubs, how quick is the shipping? I haven't ordered in a while and forgot. I'll be in different locations depending on whether it arrives this week or the next.

Sorry for partying.

I support the addition of this button, in the hopes that it will someday lead to a "Dislike" button, and perhaps one fine day, an "oh HELL no" button.

The legion of apathy will be quick to buy their new uniform. It's one of only two things that excites them.

The other one is napping.

If you buy this shirt, do you get $1,000,000 Farmville cash as a side deal?
