Time thickens, nothing happens, and your soul checks its watch repeatedly.
means A state of flat, dragging boredom caused by something monotonous or repetitive going on too long.
from From Latin taedium, meaning weariness or disgust, rooted in the verb taedere, 'to weary or disgust.' The same root gave English 'tedious.' Latin speakers already knew the feeling of a long speech or long march well enough to name it precisely — the word has been describing dull stretches of time for roughly two thousand years.
