گزارش خطا در معنی کلمه 'fair to middling'

1 general:: Mediocre, pretty good, so-so, as in I asked them how they liked their new home and John answered, "Fair to mid dling." This phrase, often a reply to an inquiry about one's health, business, or the like, is redundant, since fair and middling both mean "moderately good." [Mid-1800s] Also see CAN'T COMPLAIN.
