What is its meaning?

The expression actually has nothing to do with a small northern Ontario town. The expression is actually "fair to middlin'" meaning "fair to middling" or, in other words, soso, average, acceptable, "nothing to write home about", etc.

stable question. Like with different "historical" religions, the truthfully origins of Islam are no longer sparkling or maybe nonetheless maximum Muslims have faith that Mohammed replaced right into a actual individual, the evidence is basically as sparse as that meaning that Jesus replaced right into a actual individual. what's needless to say sparkling is that there is not any rational reason to suspect that a god may be actual and till there is a few thing that remotely skill that a god may be actual, it rather is extremely pointless to take a position on Mohammed's or Jesus' life.

It's fair to middling, and I think it means neither really good or really bad, kind of 'in the Middle', so if someone asks you how you did in your exams and you say 'oh, fair to middling', it means that you dont think you did great but you didnt do bad either.

Apparently, originally, as a GRADE OF COTTON and perhaps other commodities --"fair to middling."
