Dull

Nobody misses something that got dull years ago.

Nobody was going to miss Lindsay, since she was a dull imitation long before she was a disaster. The people in her life, or in history (alive or deceased) that were everything she wanted to be, but wasn't, were people she went beyond admiration for, they were people she wanted to be, literally.

Dull

The view of the world that kindness is weakness is dull, because everybody has it. It's a cloned/copied view of the world rather than an original.

Something that everyone else does is dull, no matter how spicy, fiery, fiesty, quirky or anything else people call it instead of calling it what it really is.

dull as ditchwater

very boring, or miserable.

old english phrase dating back to the 1700s, which plays on the double meaning of dull (boring/opaque).

modern english and american english also uses the phrase "dull as dishwater", probably evolved through mispronounciation and familiarity with the latter.

"andy has a new girlfriend but i can't understand why, she is as dull as ditchwater"

"wear the purple one, that black dress is dull as ditchwater"
