synonym for
bland
insipid
adjective
[ in-
sip
-id ]
insipid
is another word for
bland
A
bland
sauce is mild and tasteless. A
bland

is the more pointed of the two, connoting at times a shallowness or lack of mental rigor.
Commonly found as
dull and insipid

dull and insipid
platitudes.
insipid song
