*yawns*

bore

1. If someone/thing bores you, they make you lose interest and feel tired and often impatient because you find them dull and uninteresting. eg. gen lanj bores me

2. You can also bore a hole in something, like using a drill. eg. maybe if i bore a hole in my skull i might squeeze more of my boring notes in.

3. If someone's eyes bore into you, they are staring intensely at you. ( equivalent to burn) eg. my eyes bore at my books for hours, yet nothing went pass my optical nerves to my optical lobe.
