be bored out of (one's) brains

To be extremely bored (of or by someone or something), to the point of distraction, frustration, or irritation. I was bored out of my brains listening to that lecture this afternoon. We thought a week in a secluded cabin with no TV or Internet would make for some great family bonding, but we were all bored out of our brains after a couple of days. Please tell me we're almost there—the kids are bored out of their brains.
