Didactic, Ebullient

Didactic- intended to teach, inform, or instruct, but usually in a boring manner

Ex: The didactic speech about literary conventions was lost on the pupils. Their brains had been so fried by screen usage that they were unable to focus on anything remotely informative. In order to stimulate them, you would need to plant them in front of a PlayStation to play Fortnite, while they’re watching TikToks about Fortnite on an IPad, while they’re dual-scrolling Instagram reels about Fortnite on two separate IPhones with both of their feet.

Ebullient- lively and cheerful

Ex: The Russian boy’s ebullience was quickly dismissed as being an inappropriate, out of place show of emotion. He wondered if his grandparents had ever been happy. He could not, for the life of him, recall ever seeing one of them smile. They had lost hundreds of friends to starvation in Stalin’s Russia, so maybe the sight of their grandkid frolicking about the McDonalds PlayPlace, McChicken in hand, had proven to be too much for them to handle. They would have fought tooth and nail to get their hands on any measly scrap of food. So now, years later, having to sit and watch obese misbehaved toddlers glide, headfirst, like tubby little emperor penguins, down a mustard-yellow slide that’s been lubed up with mayonnaise and burger grease, was particularly repulsive to them.
