The term "mid" means mediocre, average, or just plain "meh." It describes something that’s neither good nor bad, landing right in the middle of the quality spectrum. This slang is often used to express disappointment or a lack of enthusiasm about movies, songs, games, or experiences.

"Mid" originated from Gen Z slang and has been adopted by Gen Alpha, keeping the same meaning. It’s a quick way to say something is unimpressive. For example, you might hear someone say, "That new movie was kind of mid," or "The pizza here is mid, not worth the hype." You could also hear, "His performance was mid at best."

This term contrasts with other slang like "sigma," which means something is very good, or "Ohio," which implies something is bad or weird. So, if something doesn’t quite meet expectations, calling it "mid" is a perfect way to express that feeling.
