    Which short exclamation of indifference, which was little seen ten years ago, became more well known after it was used as a reaction to a fictional theme park and now appears on over 10 million web pages? What was the name of the fictional theme park?

    		Knowing Gerard, this will have to have something to do with Homer Simpson.

    My first reaction was to think of 'D'oh!' but further serching took me to 'Meh' which was the response to Homer wanting to go to 'Blockoland'.

    		As a reward for getting "meh" the fashionable grunt of insouciance, "yay" seems a bit enthusiastic.
    Have a nonchalant "hmm" instead.

    		Ta, and all.

    Actually, your brother might have informed you of the Italian counterpart of the 'meh'. We tend to use the short 'booh' in the same context. To demonstrate the notion of 'I don't know, I don't want to know, and I don't care' all in one hit.

    Quite conventional, really.
