Yes, natch is short for naturally. Meh is a bit like a verbal shoulder shrug, to say "Whatever, I don't much care. it is what it is" or something like that.
I have no idea on the other one.

I had a facetious comment all worked out before I'd even read the contents of this!

But most people have beaten me to it... .

I very nearly started a whole thread recently in honour of the word 'natch'. It seems to be everywhere at the moment! Not just these forums. It's invaded the language. I've even started using it meself. Natch.
