What does mid mean in jargon?

In jargon, 'mid' is a slang term used to describe something[1] as average or mediocre. It can be used as an insult or to express a lack of enthusiasm or satisfaction with something. Originally used in the context of marijuana to refer to[2] 'mid-grade' marijuana of average quality or potency, the term has evolved to be used more widely to appraise things like album releases and can even be used in puns and jokes. In MOBA games, 'mid' refers to the middle lane[3], and 'to go mid' means to claim that lane for oneself. Overall, 'mid' is used to describe something as below average or low quality[1], and can be used to oppose the opinion of another[1] or to express that something is just OK or mid-tier.
