    Maybe whelmed is just the regular state of being: when expectations are lived up to, but not exceeded?

      Fun fact, “whelm” actually means the same thing as “overwhelmed,” they both mean to be covered over (as in by the sea.)

        And I just learned that “underwhelm” first appeared in the 1950s? https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/underwhelm

        Gosh I love etymology <3

          Why in the world is the first woman’s name “Chastity”?

          Edit: Is it really a name, or does it have a hidden meaning?

            My cousin named her daughter Chastity.

            Chastity attended her parents’ wedding.

    Because it’s default. It’s like telling people you’re right handed.

    When everything’s going just right, it’s literally unremarkable, so we don’t have a word for that.

        haha wordplay is funny

        The operative root word here is

        re·mark /rəˈmärk/ verb

        say something as a comment; mention.

        ““Tom’s looking tired,” she remarked”

        synonyms: comment, say, observe, mention, reflect, state, declare, announce,

        You’re correct, it’s Young Justice, the TV show, 1st and 2nd season.
