Any connection with _feh_? My impression, from a bitch once pitched to
me, is that "feh" is - or can be felt as - a grievous insult. Her
boyfriend, when asked how he'd enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with her
family, replied only, "Feh." And she was copulating urinated off about
that, to say the least!
