Day 126-If that's dull, how does a life-sentence in a fatty scooter sound?

pe·des·tri·an/pəˈdestrēən/

Noun: A person walking along a road or in a developed area.

Adjective:  Lacking inspiration or excitement; dull.

Synonyms: Banal, blah, boring, commonplace, dim, dreary, flat, humdrum, inane, mediocre, mundane, ordinary, plodding, stodgy, unimaginative, uninspired, uninteresting.

 

Hmm. How curious! 

Here's what I find banal, blah, boring, commonplace, dim, dreary, flat, humdrum, inane,


mediocre, mundane, ordinary, plodding, stodgy, 

 

and unimaginative, uninspired, uninteresting, and certainly lacking inspiration and dull:

So what genius in the timeline of the English language development decided that pedestrian was synonymous with unimaginative and uninteresting?

Probably someone who sat on his ass all the time and had a sore back. 

Because if he'd been walking, he would've realized that the best brain activity comes while our feets be movin'! 

Walk on, 

Dani
