Mid
含义: Something mediocre, average, or underwhelming — not terrible but not impressive either.
'Mid' is one of the most cutting modern insults because it doesn't even dignify something as bad — it's just... average. In a culture that values extremes, being called 'mid' can be worse than being called 'trash.' It went viral on TikTok and is now used for everything from food reviews to celebrity opinions to sports performances.
