  Isn’t tepid = lukewarm?

    Depends what you were expecting. Cold coffee and warm soda are the same temperature.

      True!
      But that’s kind of also true for all temperature words. What’s hot for one thing is cold for another, etc. we’ve still made these other words anyways. That could be an entirely other shower thought

  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.
