Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "MWEHR" + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

Something or someone utterly boring, flat, and completely without spark. In Spain, a "muermo" is the most inert thing imaginable: the movie that puts you to sleep in twenty minutes, the person who drains the energy from every room they enter. It is total, unstoppable dullness.

Examples

That movie was a complete bore, I fell asleep twenty minutes in.

Her boyfriend is so dull, no conversation, no ideas, nothing.
