Whelmed

I was perfectly whelmed by the attention I received on my birthday - gifts from my close friends and a nice dinner at home with family.

Chastity: I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?
Bianca: I think you can in Europe.

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".

The dance was so whelming, I was almost overwhelmed.

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?
