Whelmed?
Ask a Question
If you can be underwhelmed and overwhelmed can you be whelmed? Never considered this before

I remember hearing Susie Dent talking about this on a podcast a while back.
Most of these words have an alternative - My favourite was to be Combobulated, the opposite of discombobulated.

Yep.You can.To be whelmed is to be engulfed or buryed.So under or over is the extent to which you are whelmed lol.

This explains it far better than I can but seems to have differing explanations when searched online.

I remember a character asking that question on a TV show years ago, can't remember which one now but yes you can be whelmed.
