"Meh" predates the internet. Or at least predates the meme, depending on how you want to qualify the "beginning" of the internet.

Of course, some people speculate it being a Yiddish interjection, which I can't comment on, but would make it definitely older than the internet.

What is the fabric content? What is the weight of the fabric (light, medium, heavy)?

Finally! A gray area!

For me and my friends, meh has a numerical value of 3.4 on a 10 scale. Why 3.4? No one knows.

The real question is how many people are going to try and push the button every time you wear this shirt?

Boughten one.

I really kind of want one but the capitalized M is killing it for some reason.

I hereby nominate you as King of the Dorks.

Apparently there is a cure for apathy - inflatablechair face punches!

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.

This has nothing to do with right/left handedness. The facebook thumb is in the correct position in regards to its wrist placement. Look at the wrist placement in the "meh" shirt. The wrist is clearly above the hand giving it what another poster described as "kneading bread." If one actually did a thumbs to the side position in real life, and did it with their wrist above their fist, they would find it awkward and odd. Putting your fist above your wrist with elbows in at your side, you'll find it's the natural position for the "meh" side thumb position, regardless of which side the thumb is pointing.

Depends on how lonely you are.

Well then it would be a 'hitchhiker' shirt and not a 'meh' shirt. Go over analyze something useful.

well, crabpt... in the time it took me to read these comments, it sold out. Now I have to wait until tomorrow. Meh.

Look at the mad rush to buy an apathy shirt. :D

It's a little paradoxical, reminds me of that scene in The Life of Brian:

Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!

The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!

Brian: You're all different!

The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!

Meh is a fairly appropriate response to an apparent attempt at a Cyrano de Bergerac/Easter Island mashup.

Once you've seen it...

And we are all reminded of Lisa's famous quote from The Simpsons: "M-E-H. Meh."

Sold out? Seems like a scam to make more money off of it during the reckoning. I call shenanigans.

Isn't it the same price?

Nope. After today the shirt will be $15.

Meh. Fair warning, I will continue not giving a sh*t about your lack of life outside of internet whining.

Try unseeing it now!

GAH! What has been seen, cannot be unseen.......................

Giggity!

And today it's $10 + $5 for shipping = $15 total

Buying it in reckoning is $15 (free shipping) So, isn't that the same price?

Nope, 'cause today it was $10 + free standard shipping. Tomorrow, it's $15.00 + free standard shipping.

I dont think it's shenanigans tho, 'cause they did sell 3000 of them. Some are just more apathetic than I am. or faster. or... oh, I dont care.

No, Today it is $10 + free standard shipping [or $5 expedited].

So no, not the same. :D

Edit: whoops, too slow. lol

Considering that this is a shirt that expresses apathy I think you're wrong. Putting your hand up in the air requires far too much effort, I'd rather let it hang loosely by my side. And the the wrist would be above my hand.

Ok, seriously now, I made a post on Facebook about having a 'Meh' button. Next day it was removed. I saw "The Social Network," I know how Zuckerberg operates. He took it down and is now making some codes or whatever to install the 'meh' button, stealing it for himself. Zuckerbeeeeeeeeerg!

Totally wish I had stayed up to see that this was today's shirt. I would have paid $10 for it, but I don't wanna pay $15. Oh well, sucks for me.

Wow, sold out around 11. I'm surprised. Guess there's no accounting for taste :p

hahahaha.

...sold out....NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

also I couldn't help but notice that by wearing it it would kind of look like that was the only option for rating myself...

I like dots apparently in this comment.

Ahh pop culture references, of course you'll sell out to the trendy.

I'm trying to decide if I care enough to be upset that it's sold out and I didn't get one. Meh.

Technically, the thumb should be pointing into the plane of the shirt (right-handed) or pointing out of the plane of the shirt (left-handed), if we consider that the "meh" position is a comfortable 90 degree rotation of the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" position, in which the axis of rotation is along the forearm, and if we maintain the original perspective of the viewer used to observe the facebook "Like" icon.

I'm not apathetic, I just don't like to commit... Question: "Did you have a good weekend?" Me: "Meh,it was okay."

What an awesome shirt!!!

whenever i see something meh, i give just a thumb. not a thumbs up, a thumb.

I know this isn't the place to ask but i'm lost... is there a way to look up an authors work? I know several talented artists have several shirt designs, and I'd like to search shirts by author.

I shall return to buy this tomorrow.

Well done on the sell out.
