snoozefests
Tedious, dull affairs
Snoozefests are things so boring they could put you to sleep—dull movies, tedious meetings, lectures that drag on forever.
The word blends snooze with festival, sarcastically implying a celebration of boredom: The conference was a total snoozefest.
Usually plural; the singular snoozefest is more common.
