"Trocken" or "dry" is essentially used for everything that is bad or annoying in any way.
It originally derives from a comment under a Video of the infamous Youtuber Benlaxer that told the ledgend around Herbert and his dry mother.
"Das ist ganz schön trocken!"
"This or that is pretty dry!"
"Hör auf mich zu trocknen!"
"Stop drying me!"
