Ode to ‘Heh’
Posted by Renee Hopkins Callahan
Maybe I’m backward or culturally deprived, but I can’t say I ever had much exposure to the lovely little word ‘heh’ until I started reading blogs. And I haven’t used it much since I started blogging, either – it seems somehow sacred. Maybe I feel like I haven’t written anything much that was heh-worthy....!
What does ‘heh’ mean? To me, 'heh' is a three-letter commentary on the state of the world: It says 'This is funny'; 'hey, look at this'; 'isn’t the world a weird place'; 'here’s a sign of the times'. ‘Heh’ doesn’t seem to connote sidesplitting hilarity, but more of a quiet, in-joke kind of humor. ‘Heh’ is a gentle elbow-nudge, an aside with a wink, a kinder, gentler, non-sarcastic sort of irony. Heh.
