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.”

As seen in the film L'Avventura, by Michelangelo Antonioni. As characterized in post-war European literature.
