Also, how many degrees is "slightly"?

Is "slightly" a subjective term?

Is my "slightly" the same as Camron Rust's "slightly"?

Is my "slightly" the same as Nevadaref's "slightly"?

Is Camron Rust's "slightly" the same as Nevadaref's "slightly"?

What is one degree more than "slightly" called?

"Moderately"?

"Somewhat"?
