ADJECTIVE · THE KINDEST INSULT AVAILABLE
Means average, mediocre or underwhelming, especially when something was hyped up. Calling a film, song or meal “mid” means it was nothing special.
ZACK’S TRANSLATION
A one-word review that hurts more than a long one. Not bad. Not good. Just there, like your podcast.
“The film everyone was talking about? Mid.”
Two hours and twenty minutes of mid.
“Her cooking isn’t bad, it’s just mid.”
Do not say this at dinner. You will be cooking next time.
“That song is mid at best.”
It went to number one. Mid sells.
