Yawner

Yawner

<yorn-ner>

boring; uninteresting; dull

Something that is so unexciting that it makes you yawn.

You yawn by opening your mouth and take a big breath because nothing eventful is happening.

The movie is a yawner. It was so boring I could not stay awake.

The play was a yawner. It's a real snoozer.

Memory trick: We yawn when we are bored.

Used at work:
You presentation is a yawner. You should add pictures to liven it up.
