Etymology[edit]
Adjective[edit]
unbrilliant (comparative more unbrilliant, superlative most unbrilliant)
- Not brilliant.
- 1901, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Emily Fox-Seton:
- Walderhurst, who had been much bored by himself and other people in time past, actually found that it gave a fillip to existence to look on at a woman who, having been one of the hardest worked of the genteel labouring classes, was adapting herself to the role of marchioness by the simplest of processes, and making a very nice figure at it too, in her entirely unbrilliant way.
- 2011, James Waller, Drinkology Beer: A Book About the Brew:
- And some are apparently so unbrilliant that they go directly to DVD (which, with films of this genre, is really some kind of achievement)— e.g., Road Trip: Beer Pong, a 2009 movie about which Drinkology would prefer to know nothing.
