A cognitive and emotional discomfort triggered by speech or behavior that is superficially normal but subtly fails to follow expected human logic, timing, or cooperation—especially in dialogue.
When the voice assistant kept dodging my question with slightly off replies, I got that creepy Uncanny Plains feeling.

Get the Uncanny Plains mug.The kids were glad they didnt get plain old tin pails full of hand sanitizer for Christmas, even if Christmas was traditional, and seemed like the same thing every year, they wouldn't miss the tin pails.

Get the Eight Mile Plains mug.Nobody makes somebody plain or turns somebody plain, plain the way somebody already was before you met them, they just made themself appear/seem more colorful than they actually were.
Making an observation of how plain and bossy somebody is isn't the same thing as trying to boss them around, give them orders, or tell them falsehoods about what they're like. Telling somebody that isn't as colorful as they seem to think or pretend they are that they're plain is calling a spade a spade instead of a pickaxe. Perhaps the other person hearing it just doesn't like to hear criticism because they were spared (the rod) from hearing anything that didn't sound good as kids, and they expect to be praised rather than criticized, even if the criticism is not really unfair to them.

Get the Plain mug.Whitewashed, someone that tries to whitewash everyone else's memories and thoughts so that they start paying attention to them here and now.
The attention seeking girl was as plain as they come, and being the narcissist that she was, thought that everyone owed her their attention, and possibly even their belongings.

Get the Plain mug.Any number that can be written by dividing one integer by another-in plain English, any number that can be written as a fraction or ratio. (An easy way to remember this is to think of rational’s root word “ratio.”)
