          vapid; flat; tasteless.
  
     Usage: Lifeless, Dull, Inanimate, Dead. In a moral
            sense, lifeless denotes a lack of vital energy;
            inanimate, a lack of expression as to any feeling that
            may be possessed; dull implies a torpor of soul which
            checks all mental activity; dead supposes a
            destitution of feeling. A person is said to be
            lifeless who has lost the spirits which he once had;
            he is said to be inanimate when he is naturally
            wanting in spirits; one is dull from an original
            deficiency of mental power; he who is dead to moral
            sentiment is wholly bereft of the highest attribute of
            his nature.
