boring (writer or speaker) n.: dryasdust
[The Congressional Budget Office’s] recent study Long-Term Budgetary Pressures and Policy Options describes the economic future our children and grandchildren are likely to face. The report is written in the CBO’s dryasdust style, but for anyone with a tolerance for numbers and an interest in policy, it is as scary as a Stephen King novel. (N. Gregory Mankiw, “Government Debt: A Horror Story,” Fortune, 8/3/1998, p. 52.)
