まあ まあまあ へ~ (maa, maamaa, hee) are possible phrases equal to "meh". /maa/ is a gentle interjection which can indicate a feeling of "well...ummm....hmmm...." and /maamaa/ means "so-so." /hee/ is actually more of a surprised response, or one which shows interest or even just that you're listening, but depending on what the response is to and how you pronounce it, it can be a noncomittal affirmation of attention, sarcastic, or just something to say to shut someone up.

Some research on modern Japanese slang or youth speech patterns may turn up more information.
