I was intrigued by this so I had a look in the good ol’ dictionary, and whelmed is a word… Although it’s meaning is closer to overwhelmed than it is to, say, nonplussed as you might assume. The “over” has been added for emphasis rather than to change the meaning, and I assume underwhelmed came later.
It’s an unpaired word. The same reason why we never describe someone as “hinged”.
Hinged seems like a great candidate for a slang term. Like, that guy’s totally hinged. Logically, I would use it for people that seem to have their head on straight, or things that make sense.
You would if you’d seen my cabinet impression.

Thanks for the new word, it’s a good one
Imagine how deranged someone would sound calming saying “I’m very whelmed by this”
I actually know someone who says this, or at least they used to.
I’ve said “this is very… Whelming” as a sort of insult that it’s particularly middle of the road.
Almost always just for a bit of a personal chuckle since it sounds funny to me.
