What is Fair To Middlin'?
1.
Term meaning "okay" rather than "fantastic" or "terrible". Derived from the classic game Oregon Trail, which was played on old school Apple Computers. When asked how good of a shot you are, your options are: poor, fair to middlin', and expert.
Ed: How are you today?
Suzy: Meh, fair to middlin'. I woke up kinda late, but i found five buucks in my pocket.
