Long is British street slang which we use to talk about a task which is boring and not really worth it.

 

Examples
I can’t believe you’re cleaning the whole house. That’s long, bro. Come out and enjoy the sun.

A: Why don’t you stick with your diet?

 

B: Dieting is long. I just eat what I want and go to the gym instead. 

 

Neil
Exactly. Ironing is long. It's dull and takes forever.
