"annoying, pain in the ass"
Synonym of 'chiant' — from 'emmerder' (to beshit/to bother). 'C'est emmerdant' means exactly 'c'est chiant.' The two words are essentially interchangeable, though 'emmerdant' feels slightly more formal because it's longer. French speakers instinctively switch between them for variety.
