Dour

When something unfunny is remarked, or something beyond belief has happened.
Often used in football games for a poor effort at goal or a mistake, but the main use comes into play when someone remarks something extremely gay.

Gay person: I think we should have a sponsered 6 hour rendition of Barmy army.

Normal Person: Oh My God, that was absolutely dour!
