They Having a Mid Off

They Having a Mid Off , also known as They're Having a Mid Off , is a catchphrase that uses the slang term " mid " and imagines a competition between two subjects over who is the most mid. The phrase was coined in mid-2020 on Twitter where the original tweet read, "these women having a mid off," and quote retweeted two female Twitter users who were hating on each other and comparing their selfies . The phrase became a common caption for memes going into 2023 across social media where it was used similarly to its first usage — comparing two characters or pop culture references by attesting that they're both, in fact, mid.
