Mid

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

It means mediocre or average or nothing special, as in "that movie was mid," and it is short, devastating, and widely used as the opposite of a compliment, so if they say your cooking is mid they mean it is fine but not impressive.

How to bring it up with your kid

Take it lightly if they call something you did "mid." It just means average, not terrible. No action needed.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
