Maybe whelmed is just the regular state of being: when expectations are lived up to, but not exceeded?
That’s such a whelming answer.
I aim to whelm.
I too feel whelmed
Fun fact, “whelm” actually means the same thing as “overwhelmed,” they both mean to be covered over (as in by the sea.)
And I just learned that “underwhelm” first appeared in the 1950s? https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/underwhelm
Gosh I love etymology <3
