Engnui

Not all fans of English football will know the word “ennui” which describes those feelings of listlessness, boredom & general dissatisfaction with life when nothing interesting is happening. All fans of English football, however, have experienced Engnui. The English national team play a boring game of football during an intensely meaningless period known as the ‘international break’. The Premier League is temporarily suspended. This creates feelings of intense listlessness, boredom & general dissatisfaction with life among football fans. The Premier League football, gives our lives hope and meaning, is removed & then replaced with the horror of a ‘friendly’ international: we football fans have all suffered Engnui.
“No Premier League football for two weeks because of this stupid international break, I’m going to be bored out of my mind, total Engnui.”
