The concept of CHALANCE exists but you cannot nonchalantly introduce it into a conversation.

Thanks for the new word, it's a good one

Not really new..... I think it was part of an old George Carlin bit.

You can in Europe

Yeah this post must come from uncultured (but likely very popular) teenage girls, probably sophomores.

Source: I am, as well, currently whelmed in Europe.

Judging from my memory of the documentary evidence, those teenage girls might have been quite Mean to boot!

It's an unpaired word. The same reason why we never describe someone as "hinged".

You would if you'd seen my cabinet impression.

Finally a fresh take on political humor

Carlo ,

Hinged seems like a great candidate for a slang term. Like, that guy's totally hinged. Logically, I would use it for people that seem to have their head on straight, or things that make sense.

I sometimes am. I just don't feel like talking about it.

I was intrigued by this so I had a look in the good ol' dictionary, and whelmed is a word... Although it's meaning is closer to overwhelmed than it is to, say, nonplussed as you might assume. The "over" has been added for emphasis rather than to change the meaning, and I assume underwhelmed came later.

This information has left me plussed

One might say that I am currently whelmed. We generally don't have much to complain about when everything is fine.

I want more of young justice. I'm most sad it's over.

Came here to make a Young Justice reference. I'm whelmed that you beat me to it.

Imagine how deranged someone would sound calming saying "I'm very whelmed by this"

I actually know someone who says this, or at least they used to.

I've said "this is very.... Whelming" as a sort of insult that it's particularly middle of the road.

Almost always just for a bit of a personal chuckle since it sounds funny to me.
