Just in case you missed it.
Fair to middlin’ has also become an expression in the southern United States meaning okay to average in quality, as in “I’m feeling fair to middlin’”. https://www.heddels.com/dictionary/fair-to-middling/

No, I didn't and being from the South I use the expression also.
Just like to think of it as cotton, I believe the phrase originated in Apalachicola a big cotton exporter in the antebellum era. Interesting book by the name:
Fair to Middlin': The Antebellum Cotton Trade of the Apalachicola/Chattahoochee River Valley

Older sister and I eat once a month breakfast. I expected her DH to attend also and for sis to have t-bone. Well, he didn't and she didn't, so bill was $31 I'd expected a bill for $80. So, I'd hit the bank and got a $20.
The waitress was very thankful. Happy new year!!!

"Ecstatic!"
I need to qualify this. My team, "Northampton Saints," beat high flying "Harlequins," both teams are know better by their abbreviations, that is: Saints V Quins. As I was saying, Saints beat high flying Quins 46:17. My lady, also a fellow Saints supporter, recalled, wistfully, that she remembered a time when a Saints win was always a promise of..............................................(work it out!)

You are obviously not in touch with the, below the trouser belt, British humour. Or perhaps you are and are being deliberately,
naïve.
Probably the latter.

So, lemme get this straight...the Saints and the Quins are nicknames for penises? OK, got it.
