Get It Right, People

What is the difference between :

"Are you bored?" and "Are you boring?"

Did you even realize that there was a difference? Did you know that by saying the wrong one, you are actually insulting the person you're saying it to?

"Are you bored?" means you're asking the person if he/she is feeling boredom.

"Are you boring?" means you're asking the person if he/she is a total bore/ loser.

Please, don't go around insulting people in a la-di-da-di-da fashion.





Just here to help.
