It’s still a synonym for “average” but I think it comes with the subtext that in a world with a million choices, you have no reason to settle for average.
This is a really good way to put it.
Or that being truly hideous or terrible is a redeeming quality. Like, the worst thing you can imagine is still memorable and/or educational in some way, even in a “don’t do this” or “don’t be that guy” sense. Meanwhile, the most forgettable thing is… Well… Just that. Forgettable. If it would fade from the history books, nobody would notice and nobody would care.
That’s why the claim that mid = bad is not the worst.
Your meme is mid and you should feel mid.
This feels more offensive than saying they’re bad and should feel bad.
Title is a mid sentence.
Whole post is mid tbh

yeah you’re right my previous comment was mid too
People when a language changes(a thing languages do pretty often)
Only if you don’t understand how being middle of the road can be worse than being awful.
People talk about and remember things that are good; but they also talk about and remember things that suck. But nobody remembers or talks about things that are average.
Hence how being “mid” can absolutely be bad.
TIL I’m doing this shit right because I hate people and don’t want to be remembered and thus have some awkward conversation with someone I knew in my
hellschool days or something. shuddersSome how “mid furry” seems like an oxymoron to me. 🤔
can they use word that doesnt sound like something annoying people say too much
I’m 44 and use the word mid to describe things that are just ok.
I’m confident you’re the oldest person using “mid”.
People used to say things were “middling”.
“mid” - meaning Middle or Intervening. An adjective you fool!
And in the highly competitive, individualistic USA being in the middle of rankings is on par with being exceptionally bad!
Sort of like how 7/10 became synonymous for average
Unlike a perfect 5/7
Don’t forget the rice
ok boomer
am younger than you
Well you have boomer energy, then
Then got off lemmy, ToS says you’re supposed to be 18
am kbinner
why so mad
is like you’re the one under 18
Look on the bright side, at least you don’t use mid as a synonym for bad.
Why are you so afraid of language change?
why is jump to conclusion so much
Why are all of your responses just “I know you are but what am I?”

Your post is mid and there is nothing you can do to stop people using a slang term you don’t like. Get used to it or die mad

Anything that people use to mean “average” will evolve into meaning “bad”. There are no exceptions.
