An exclamation expressing disgust, disdain, or dismissal; a Yiddish interjection of contempt.
From Yiddish פֿ (fe), an onomatopoetic expression of disgust. It entered English through New York Jewish communities in the 20th century and has become a recognizable expression across American English.
Feh perfectly captures something that 'ugh' or 'bleh' doesn't quite—it's not just disgust but also weary dismissal, which is why it feels so distinctly Yiddish!
