'Meh' has beaten off competition from hundreds of other words to make it into the Collins English Dictionary.
Meaning unimpressed, mediocre or boring, the word was chosen as the public's entry for the 30th anniversary edition of the book to be published next year.
Jargonaut, frenemy and huggles were among the other words suggested to the Word Of Mouth campaign run by Collins Dictionaries and book chain Waterstone's.
The winning word was submitted by Erin Whyte from Nottingham, who said it was "an expression of utter boredom or an indication of how little you care for an idea".
Cormac McKeown, head of content at Collins Dictionaries, said: "This is a new interjection from the US that seems to have inveigled its way into common speech over here."
