Started off meaning a sore one. ie in a fight you could take a sore punch. (yin = one)
But now its turned completely around and it means something is very good.
Some people still use it to describe a sore knock on the head.
Scottish slang.

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.

A dull crayon is most obviously a crayon which is dull. This word can also be used as an insult because just like nobody likes a dull crayon, nobody likes the person called a dull crayon.
