I thought tepid was like neither warm or cool, so more of a lukemedium.
if that's the case what's the difference between warm and hot i always thought lukewarm was the warm side and tepid was the cold side of medium. i don't think there true medium where you can't tell if it's warm or cool side.
Tepid is a synonym of lukewarm, which AFAICT is the middle ground between room temperature and warm.
I'm looking for middle ground between room temperature and cool.
