Is there any expression for "it is kind of [troublesome]?












2














Here is the situation.



I always wear short pants when I go to gym. Even if it is really cold outside, I wear short pants, because I will end up changing into short pants if I go to gym in long pants. As such, I always wear short pants when I go to gym.



In this situation, I would like to say 'it is kind of _____.'
Are there any words to express this feeling?



I used to say 'it is kind of troublesome.' But I don't think it is the right expression. Would it be okay if I say 'it is kind of chore'?

  • Continuing the sentence with "to ..." can help you find an apt description. "It is inconvenient to keep changing pants." "It is easier to just use the same pair."

  • Hi Loy, welcome to EL&U. I've edited your question - please note that not capitalising the pronoun "I" is guaranteed to upset an English language enthusiast (and attract downvotes!). Regarding the word you seek, "chore" is a noun so you'd say "It's kind of a chore", but otherwise it's a perfectly appropriate word to use (although there's nothing wrong with troublesome other than it being a bit old-fashioned).

            What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

            Image
            0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
