A wet weekend 讨厌、无聊的人或时光
    2021-01-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: The past holiday was a wet weekend.

B: What happened?

A: I had planned a tour to Beijing but had to cancel it because there were several new COVID-19 cases reported.

Note: “A wet weekend” doesn’t always have anything to do with the weather or a weekend. It’s a British idiom that means a boring and disappointing time.

You can also use the expression to describe boring people. For example: He is such a wet weekend. I have nothing to talk with him.

“Has a face like a wet weekend” is also a British idiom people use to describe a person who looks gloomy or miserable.

For example: He’s got a face like a wet weekend because his girlfriend has dumped him.
