Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "NEE" (as in "knee") + "FOO" (as in "food") + "NEE" (as in "knee") + "FAH" (as in "far")/

Meaning

Meh, neither good nor bad, completely mediocre, generating zero emotional response. In Spain ni fu ni fa is the ultimate shoulder shrug about something utterly unremarkable.

Examples

How was the movie? Meh, nothing special.

The food was so-so, I wouldn't go back.
