微妙= びみょう bimyou
Original meaning.
subtle,subtile,subtlety,delicacy
When we see something and say Bimyo.
That means not so good.
or
It's not very good.
A: 彼女可愛いよね?
She's cute, right?
B: びみょー…😓
Bimyo...😓
Suppose you actually thought of her as not very cute.
But when you don't want to express it directly, you say Bimyo.
When you eat something and say Bimyo
That means it's not very delicious.
A:それ美味しい?
Is it delicious?
B:びみょー…😓
Bimyo...😓
Both examples
However, what you really think is not so good is conveyed to the other person.
