adverb

Here adv.

1.

In this place; in the place where the speaker is; opposed to there. "He is not here, for he is risen."

2.

In the present life or state. "Happy here, and more happy hereafter."

3.

To or into this place; hither. (Colloq.) See Thither. "Here comes Virgil." "Thou led'st me here."

4.

At this point of time, or of an argument; now. "The prisoner here made violent efforts to rise." Note: Here, in the last sense, is sometimes used before a verb without subject; as, Here goes, for Now (something or somebody) goes; especially occurring thus in drinking healths. "Here's (a health) to thee, Dick."

Here and there, in one place and another; in a dispersed manner; irregularly. "Footsteps here and there."

It is neither, here nor there, it is neither in this place nor in that, neither in one place nor in another; hence, it is to no purpose, irrelevant, nonsense.
