Definition of bah :.

(bä)

  1. 1. (interj.) A derivative of the word, meh. It can mean many things depending on the way it is said. Among other things, it can be used as a greeting. Its official counterpart is used to express impatient rejection or contempt. While certainly not wrong in definition, the official definition does not express the broadness in use that this word offers.

    Origins: Bah, humbug! Who cares about origins?

    Examples:
    Lassie: Why, hello there George. George: Bah! How are you doing?

    Wilma: Would you like olives in your salad? Fred: Bah! You know I hate olives.
