it's really quite simple. low-end means bottom of the barrel, the absolute worst. high-end means just that. there's nothing higher than the high end, right?

lately i've been reading a lot of gibberish like "higher-end". WTF? then there's "highest end"! like there's something that exists beyond the end

but of course this one takes the cake: "mid-end"! i just can't visualize it. it's in the ends but somehow in the middle??? crazy
