Like watching paint dry


If you say that something is like watching paint dry, you mean that it is very boring. Paint literally takes a while to dry. Imagine watching paint dry... booooring!!

1. For me, looking at other peoples' family photos is like watching paint dry.

2. Watching the financial news on CNN about the stock market is like watching paint dry.

3. A 20-hour bus ride is like watching paint dry. There's nothing to do but watch movies you've already seen.



4. - What do you think about opera?
    - I think it's like watching paint dry!

5. Standing in a long line at the bank is like watching paint dry. It takes forever! So I try to do my transactions online.

  1. HI EVERYONE... IF YOU FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH, WHY NOT TRANSLATE ONE OF MY EXAMPLE SENTENCES INTO YOUR OWN LANGUAGE (AND LEAVE IT HERE IN A COMMENT), WHETHER IT'S RUSSIAN, GREEK, ITALIAN OR TAGALOG... THERE ARE MANY READERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO VISIT HERE, AND MAYBE YOU WILL MOTIVATE THOSE WHO ARE NOT SO GOOD AT ENGLISH YET. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!
