Do you use the expression ¨watching paint dry¨?
- I think it means a boring time spent on waiting. I´m not sure. I could use a little help, thanks a lot.

Riverkid's example is good.

"I'd rather watch paint dry." could mean "Opera bores me so much that I'd rather do something as boring as watch paint dry."
