Quote:Those who utter the term "teh" are also split. A common online misspelling of "the," "teh" has come to mean "very" when placed in front of an adjective -- such as "tehcool" for "very cool." Some pronounce it tuh, others tay.
Off topic, but from of the conversation at your link:
Interesting parallel. Te cool is often used here, not because it is a misspelling of the, but because the Dutch word 'te' means 'too'. ( te >written the same way and pronounced tuh).
And the word cool has been adopted since quite a while.Funny.

Kia ora Branshea. The Maori word 'Te' (pron: Ted without the d)
means 'the'.
Te kuri = The dog.
Te cool!
