Tepid

As mentioned elsew, tepid means lukewarm. Between room temperature and warm.

So if tepid is between warm and room temperature, what is between cool and room temperature?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
