A universal rhetoric which serves to nullify anything and
everything other people say. Besides this it functions as an expression of apathy at current events unfolding around oneself. Occasionally it is used as an insult, in which case it functions to nullify the worth of their existence; e.g. "Niegh you and all your descendants!", it is however not meant as vilely as ruder
words such as
bastard or dumkompf
This word originated in China during the early stages of the 21st century, circa 2005, by an unknown author under unknown conditions; a trend typified by many similar colloquies. Nonetheless the word has spread like a wildfire through the adolescent public and is now commonly used by, predominantly, students around the
world.
A common
mistake is to confuse Niegh with the hinnicky sound horses make: "Neigh". This is false. Furthermore another common
mistake is the pronunciation of the "GH" which is supposed to resonate like a rolling G, hence it is not like the GH from GHAST but more like the sound
one makes when tasting particularly repulsive food.
Pronounced: (KNIE-EG) . Although variations exist. Tends to lose effect when not pronounced with an edge of revulsion in it.

hamster and your
