Answer

Yeah, it's a current expression. There was a great TV series called "Bored to Death" a few years ago. You can also hear people underline boredom and frustration by saying " I wanted to shoot myself", "blow my brains out" or "hang myself". Talk about morbid idioms! And like Conner said, the second one is way better, you want to use it in a form of being bored (I was, I am bored) and you can also say that a person "bored you to death" but I hope you won't need to use that one too much. Another similar idioms are "bored out of my mind" or "out of my skull".

Answer

you can use this expression to give more importance or seriousness to your statement; in other words to exaggerate when saying something...
