pffft, i was hoping rofflenui was some shabily spelt portmanteau contraction of ROFL and the french ennui
As I recall, "rofflennui" was canvassed in the original discussion thread.

W00t!

when roflnui turns up in the OED it can clearly sourced to Sacha.

Yes, I'm kicking myself for not working out you could vote three times for the same word.
I didn't know either, till it happened

I recall an English uncle being surprised at what he termed the "height of the sky in New Zealand". He compared antipodean skies to a cathedral, whereas he thought that England had been built "with an old-fashioned nine-foot stud".
Ah. So the gift for description is a family thing. That's a lovely characterisation.
