What does this billboard say about you? Is it positive or negative? The words bored and boring are both used as adjectives, but which would you prefer to be described as? Are you bored or are you boring?
Take a look at this link and then decide for yourself:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/askaboutenglish/2010/04/100601_aae_bored.shtmlMost people wouldn't want to be described as boring as this is a reflection of how other people see them. I expect most would prefer to be referred to as interesting, rather than boring. If you are bored it may be because of something like a boring lesson, a boring movie, a boring location, etc.
