Meh Lexicon
6You say all of your meh orders have arrived promptly and exactly as described? You've never received headphones instead of an IP camera? Your coffee cups have always arrived well-packaged and unbroken? Well, you probably just haven't been ordering enough, then. You see, with Great Bargains comes Great Fallibility.
At @MEHcus behest, I am starting this thread to "crown the official term for when we inevitably screw up...again."

You are too kind. Mehby they are mehleficent.
Large scale errors are tumors... mehlignant tumors.

Mehlt Downs happen, too. Like Mehrrors.

@joelmw And sometimes shows up earlier than scheduled...and sometimes is late?
@Mavyn See? Awesome, right?
@The_Baron But, yaknow, that's the feeling. I think you're telling me that I've nailed it, um, so to speak.
@The_Baron There's something troubling about the way this image fits, isn't there?
Perhaps it's mehlingering - they're just faking it.
Mehrica -- which, I know, Mehricans seems to be the popular collective, but I hate it. I prefer Mehicans, because 'Murica is mostly most things wrong with this country, and hardly even funny anymore. I keep hoping Mehicans will catch on. It hasn't. I probably won't stop using it, because I'm like that. So, yeah, stop calling ourselves Mehricans and call the snafu Mehrica, because someone came in with metaphorical guns blazing and Darwin-award-worthy foresight, and, well, damn, that's what happens. But as I think about it, that's far too harsh. But maybe for the bitterest fuckups.
@joelmw So, yeah, this is me:
@joelmw Mehicans from Mehico? Sorry, too south of the border for moi.
@joelmw As much as you might hate it, we are Mehricans. Best part of being 'mehricans, is freedom, sweet delicious freedom. Drink it up!
@studerc I love this country too. That's why I hate that it's turned into 'Murica. But I'm getting close to being too political, so I'd probably better back off a little. :-)
@joelmw
@lisaviolet My identification with Trejo and Quixote (more obliquely of course) probably reveals the fact that it's not for me. :-) I think there's much to be admired about our friends south of the border--or, indeed, north of the border who've come from south of the border. And, yeah, I have roots.
@The_Baron I'm not quite sure what that is, but it seems to be a flavor of 'Murica, so, sure, that's the problem I'm talking about.
@joelmw I'm in San Diego, lots of Latinos in our area. (Listening to them carrying on a conversation always makes me smile, because I love the way the words sound.) But Mehican seems like it's just switching out one country for another.
@lisaviolet Well, it's switching out an established (and painfully negative) parody of a country for something that comes closer to actually being the name of a country without the existing baggage. I actually think it'd be cool if people mixed it up with other place (and tribal, etc.) names. Heck, Mehicans could be a form of Mohicans, which comes closer to being natives--of America, I mean. And there's Mehsouri, Mehsachussets, Mehcedonia, Mehdagascar, Mehlawi, Mehlaysia, etc.
@joelmw I was reading it like Mohicans until I saw the replies.
Wouldn't that be words in the the Lexmehcon?
@rockblossom And ... Mehdness and mehem (meh-hem? like a meh palindrome?), whenever there is a Fuku.
@rockblossom Don't think I don't notice that you're talking to yourself. Obviously I approve.
@rockblossom I considered calling it the Mehxicon but figured that would just lead to either cosplayer references or Taco Bell jokes.
@Cloudscout See, @lisaviolet, it's almost inevitable.

@Thumperchick Ha. That totally made me think "mehyonnaise," which of course made me think of Undercover Brother and the fact that my wife hates mayonnaise.

We old-timers who remember other series of coined words might think of these as smehglets.
Which, I guess, is like a sniglet with cheese.

@joelmw you're making me want to play Stick of Truth again.
@Thumperchick I didn't even know this was a thing. I thought you were making a veiled threat to beating me with a stick. ;-)
@joelmw Nah, you know my threats aren't veiled!
mehkes me sad or "mehkes me mad" or "mehkes sense" (irony)
At 12:00 EST, I always remehmber to take my mehdicine.
