So the convoginators are now boring. Hmmm... I have been called many things, but never boring. Fat, overweight, insulting, weird, disgusting, obese, fowl, stinky, pooty, good looking in a disfigured kinda way, but never boring. When I think of boring, I think of places like here! Or maybe being trapped in a refrigerator box inside of a freight train bound for Norman, OK. Boring?!?!?
Lets talk about the word boring or yet bored.... The "bor" come from the Indonesian word "bortangu" which roughly translated means "nothing." This word actually was the root for the Gaelic word "bord" which means " I'm finished bashing in my opponents head and have nothing else to do..." Now interestingly, the "ing" that is being used in "boring" takes on a whole new meaning when added to the "bor" at the beginning... The "ing" now has the meaning "to sip coffee with feminine males in a public, yet out of the way coffee or small sandwich establishment." SO, in collusion, to be bored, or refer to something as being boring, is a self-realization and subconscious statement which roughly translates in to "...Look at me, I am sissy." On the side note...the etymology of the word "bored" comes from the Old English word "borian." Hmmmm... "borian," brian....you do the math.... Don't believe me? Look it up here!
Anyway, that's my, and the current Dept. Chairman for the Harvard School of Linguistics, view on things. Who knows? I may be mistaken.
