Bore s.o. stiff

I could bore you stiff with the specifics discussed, but I won't. Instead, here are some general thoughts which I think apply to most products.

What does it mean by "bore s.o. stiff" from the sentence above?

Thanks in advance.

To bore someone stiff means to bore them intensely. It's just an idiomatic intensifer. Similar expressions are "bore you to death" and "bore you to tears".
