What does VAPID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Lacking liveliness, interest or flavour; dull and flat.
A vapid conversation, drink or piece of writing offers nothing to hold attention; it feels flat, predictable and empty of real substance. The word can describe a flat, tasteless drink that has lost its sparkle, or, more often today, people, remarks and entertainment that seem shallow and uninteresting. Vapid comes from the Latin vapidus, used of wine that had gone flat, and the sense of flatness carried over into the modern meaning of dullness. It usually carries a mildly critical tone, suggesting that something promised more than it delivered.
