Just when you think you've heard it all, you come across a new trend known as Rawdogging Boredom. Certainly, there has to be a better name for it, no?

WHat is Rawdogging Boredom? Basically, it's putting effort into being lazy. Instead of fighting off boredom or attacking it with some sort of activity, you just embrace the boredom and stare emptily at the walls as your source of entertainment. Why fight it when you can just give in? Some say it's a way to improve you short attention span and others just aren't having it. Could it actually be good for you? See a TikToker detail Rawdogging Boredom below.

What Is Rawdogging Boredom?

I guess it's better than some other activities you could get into when you're bored. It's almost like meditating but without any sort of effort or realizing that you're doing it. I could see how it could be effective and clear your mind. Just what an awful name for it!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
