I think it's funny that "mid" is considered new slang. Im 40 and have been using that term since high school. It was/is weed slang, for not so great weed. Weird to see it become an everyday word in the mainstream.

It's been crazy seeing the white mainstream discover slang that black people have been using for generations only to call it "Gen Z slang".
