"As boring as fuck."
.jpg)
Okay, let's use it in a couple of real situations...
"Robert is getting a little boat so that he can sail around Eastbourne in his cleaning breaks." "That's as boring as fuck!"
"Look! Peter has done another gardening post!" "That's as boring as fuck!"
"Richard (of RBB) is going to tell us about changing violin strings." "Okay, that could be interesting."
Oops, sorry, it just didn't work on that one.
The trouble with the saying 'As boring as fuck' is that we don't really know what 'fuck' means in this instance. Maybe 'As boring as a Curmudgeon post' would be better? Or 'As boring as going to mass'.
Hey, by the way (a little off topic here), did you notice how I added a number (362) to this post? This is a clever ploy because anyone dropping by for the first time might think that this has been a very successful series. They might assume that the post is better than it actually is. Feel free to use that idea TC.
Probably, if you're going to call something boring, use a subject that really defines the original idea.
Here are some to try...
- As boring as reading a The Curmudgeon post. (Yes, I know we've already mentioned that one, but it's a beauty that will really get your point across.)
- As boring as talking to an angel with no brain.
- As boring as being with a person who never listens to what you have to say.
- As boring as watching cricket.
- As interesting as going to the toilet.
- As boring as hearing the three things that can go wrong with a bottle of wine.
- As boring as golf.
- As boring as a priest's sermon.
- As boring as listening to Irish music that keeps repeating the 'tune'.
- As boring as being really bored.
There we go. That's enough to keep you going for a while.
If you're new to this blog, let me assure you that 'Sayings that make no sense. #363' will be along soon.
Enjoy.

It must be a slow day in ‘Martianland’ today.
I’ve been busy this morning myself.
Does that mean a new post?
Nope. Just looked.
"I’ve been busy this morning myself."
Grammar! Shouldn't the second to last word be 'scratching'?
There's no need to panic. I just posted a gardening post. Enjoy!
And I also wrote one on air conditioning. Things are looking up*.
* You have experience of that.
ot as boring as no post at all .....
.... ?
Oops! Here's that floating N.
Has Wellington gone on holiday?
No, they're all in Proofreading School.
Robert is in the Letters of the Alphabet class. He's good at relating letters to numbers. One of the best, in fact. Still, he achieved an A- for Big Words but an N+ for Grammar. He got a Blue for 'How visible is your little boat?'.

I just want to make it very clear that there is absolutely no evidence that The Curmudgeon was pissed, having broken protocol and having drunk a whole bottle of fizzy wine, when he wrote those last two comments that needed to be deleted. It seems that he was just worried about his grammar. I'm pretty sure that was the reason for the deletion. As sure as I can be.
Actually I was pissed having drunk the bottle of Veuve Rozier Champagne. Normally I share a bottle with Lynn but she's away so .....
I feel OK today though but will give it a rest until Saturday when in Wellington.
I'm shocked!

Where's "Sayings that make no sense. #363"?
At RBB we're all too shocked to write a post!
