Boredom caused by some drunken nuisances (5)

A Drunken Delight, Or Just a Pain in the Neck?

This week’s crossword clue is a bit of a head-scratcher! It’s all about that feeling of being utterly bored, but not by anything ordinary. Instead, it’s the kind of boredom that comes from being stuck with a bunch of drunken nuisances.

The clue itself is short and sweet:

“Boredom caused by some drunken nuisances (5)“

.

The five-letter word limitation gives us a few options, but the real challenge is finding one that accurately captures the feeling of being trapped in a situation where you’d rather be anywhere else.

Are we talking about the kind of drunken behavior that’s just loud and annoying, or something more disruptive and unpleasant? Think back to those times you’ve encountered the dreaded “drunken nuisances” – the ones who make you want to bury your head in a pillow and scream.

Remember, the answer is a five-letter word, and it needs to have a specific meaning related to boredom. Think about the synonyms for “boredom” – tedium, ennui, listlessness.

So, grab your pencil and paper, and let’s crack this clue! I’ll be back with the solution and a full explanation in the comments.

Available Answers:

ENNUI.
