... over the spelling of dreekh, driech, dreek.

These are all regional variations meaning the same thing i.e.
miserable, depressing, soul destroying, energy sapping, dull, grey, wet, bleak, bland, boring, dire, awful.

I propose a new word to be used, to avoid arguments about the spelling.

The word is- 'beaker'.

I think this fits the above descriptive words perfectly.






:D

Sorry, Caspar. Can't be boring and dire. Game of Thrones was dire but never boring. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but they can't also be used to describe weather.
Maybe not. However, I drove to work today instead of riding as the weather was forecast to be Beaker. They got it right too, it’s pissing down.

More accurately it was Beakering down on you.
