Random Babble: Bore


The word 'Bore' has a lot of connotations. All connotations can be found in a dictionary. So why am I doing it here? Because I can and I am plain bored.

  1. Bore: To be a bore. Someone who has the ability to spread boredom. This should not be mistaken for a superpower. It is more common than you can imagine.
    Illustration: The author finds some of his posts a bore.

  2. Bore: Bore is used to define the diameter of a tube or tunnel or anything circular. Its associated more to a hole. Gun barrels also are identified using the bore. No Calibre is different, this is more related to the barrel.
    Illustration: The bore of the barrel of the gun pointed at your face is directly related to your ability to hold your bladder.

  3. Bore: Bore is also a sort of digging term related to the process of digging into something. It perhaps obvious since Bore seems to like tunnels and holes. Its only natural to associate itself to the process of digging too.
    Illustration: The termite bore holes in my books which was fine with me as they were my study books and not my Playboy collection.

  4. Bore: Bore is one of the wordeas (sort of district) of Ethopia. Bore must be a hole on earth by the sound of it.

    Bore is also used with other words to express other Boring connotations.

  5. Bore dom: Its what a Bore brings in.
    Illustration: Look at what Boredom does to you. Makes me write a post on boredom and makes you read on one.

  6. Tidal Bore: A very high wave caused by a tidal flow. This is more because of tidal waves colliding with each other. Sometimes if a person is a Colossal Bore then he or she can be termed a Tidal Bore.
