jejune

And to feel jejune if we slip from that lofty, arid plane to delight in something here and now.

The jejune romantic comedy “Wedding Season” marries elements from a couple of recent entries to the genre: “Plus One” and “7 Days.”

By the end of the novel, his paranoia from the park is almost jejune compared to what’s in store for him.

A model of punctiliousness and a font of jejune humor, he is appalled by the clutter his predecessor left.

I have read only “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sense and Sensibility,” and it was a long time ago, and like Cohen in her jejune early reading of the novels, I didn’t properly appreciate them.
