| Text | The word "dull," in this podcast, means boring or uninteresting: "This job is so dull on Friday afternoons, when few people come into the office." When describing a knife or another object used for cutting, "dull" means not sharp: "This knife is too dull to even cut through a tomato." Or, "These scissors are dull. You'll be able to cut more easily if you sharpen them." The word "dull "can also mean not shiny: "Use this polishing cloth to transform those dull jewels into shining beauties." Finally, when the weather is "dull," there is little sunshine and there are many clouds: "When he looked out the window and saw another dull, gray day in the Pacific Northwest, he sighed deeply." |
