crashing bore

Party conversation killer

A crashing bore is someone or something extremely tedious and uninteresting.

The intensifier crashing emphasizes just how dull the person or thing is—not merely boring, but aggressively so: The dinner party was ruined by a crashing bore who wouldn't stop talking about his coin collection.
