Under the Weather

Jun 7, 2006

Someday I'd like to know how this idiom came into being. What does the weather have to do with illness?

Must have something to do with the fact that my head is foggy, my nose is, um, drizzling, and my head aches. Can't think of a weather analogy for that one. Oh well - think I'll lie down now.

Feed a cold, starve a fever. Neither of which help with a stomach virus.

Lots of water and sleep seemed to do the trick.
