Whelmed

It does NOT mean indifference. It means:

1. To be submerged, turned-over, or covered up. Or, more commonly,
2. To be so over-taken with emotion or excitement that one feels "turned upside down" or completely engulfed.

It does NOT mean "neutral" or BETWEEN "underwhelmed" and "overwhelmed". If anything, "whelmed" means to be overwhelmed or just slightly less excited than "overwhelmed".

I was whelmed by the majestic view on top of the mountain.

The dance was so whelming, I was almost overwhelmed.

whelm

To be in a state of inflicted normality. See also OVER and UNDER whelm.

Not technically a word, but by all logic, it should be.

As referenced in "Clueless": You can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you just be whelmed?

whelmed

The definition of overwhelmed or underwhelmed is a variant of to much or to little of an expected emotion, that would mean whelmed would be an exact feeling of emotion that was previously expected.

1) The first movie was terrible . As a result i was whelmed with the results of the sequel.
( note that whelmed can only be truly understood by people who know or understand your feeling before the events that you are describing in said sentence.)

whelmed

To be so thoroughly unmoved by something that even being underwhelmed is too much effort. A state of complete apathy.
