🇺🇸 English Expressions: Under the Weather 🌧️
Hey everyone! 👋
Today’s expression is “under the weather.”
👉 It means feeling sick, unwell, or a bit off physically or mentally.
You use it when you’re not feeling your best.
Origin:
This phrase comes from sailing terminology in the 19th century. Sailors who were feeling seasick were sent below deck — literally under the weather — to recover. Over time, the phrase entered everyday English to mean feeling ill. ⛵
Examples:
• I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, so I’ll stay home. 🤒
• She’s under the weather, but hopes to come to work tomorrow. 🌡️
• Don’t worry if he seems quiet — he’s just under the weather. 😷
