Urbandictionary with Gary
A childish taunt or jeer pronounced with a nasal sneer, for lack of a more intelligent retort to someone else’s jeer or taunt, usually from a peer. Sometimes sung to the tune of “Ring-Around-the-Rosy” for really driving the point home.
My definition is better than all the other stupid definitions listed here – neener neener.
