Had enough of 40-year-old wannabe anthropologists breathlessly reporting their latest find after spending half an hour surfing the ‘Net? (“It seems that kids are using ‘sick’ to mean ‘cool’!”) No?

Good! Because here’s the new monosyllable that’s sweeping discussion groups and chat rooms across the Internet.

It’s “guh.” (Pronounced “guh.”) Allow me to share my findings.

The definition changes depending on the punctuation.

“Guh?” = “What th’..?”
“Guh.” = “Yuck.”

So tell me, Netizens — have you seen this before? Is “guh” in your vocabulary, and did I get the meaning right?
