People associate rainy or cold days with getting sick, but they say you have to stay outside in bad weather for a while.<\/p>\n<p>And why <em>under<\/em> the weather? Why not <em>in<\/em> the weather? After all, in a plane, car or boat we say, \u201cWe ran <em>into<\/em> some bad weather.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where did this odd phrase come from?<\/p>\n<p>The phrase actually has <em>nautical<\/em> (boat or ship related) origins and has been traced all the way back to the early 19th century (it could be older). At the time, when there was bad weather, sailors who were getting seasick would go below deck to get away from the conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Sourced from the book: <em>Salty Dog Talk: The Nautical Origins of Everyday Expressions by Bill Beavis and Michael Howorth<\/em>, the original phrase is \u201cunder the weather bow\u201d which is the side of the ship where the bad weather is blowing<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the phrase left the mouths of sailors and made its way off the boats into the common language of everyone else. <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourphrase.com\/under-the-weather\">Knowyourphrase.com<\/a> even cites a print usage of the word as early as 1835 that has no reference to sailors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018<em>I own Jessica is somewhat under the weather to-day, figuratively and literally,\u2019 said the gentleman, amusedly, giving a glance at the lady over in the corner<\/em>.\u201d &#8211; Jeffersonville Daily Evening News, 1835.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"741469072272796021\" class=\"wcustomhtml\" style=\"width: 100%\" align=\"left\">\n<h2>Other Ways to Say You\u2019re Sick, Tired, or Unwell<\/h2>\n<p><em>Click below to listen to a recording of this passage.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wsite-html5audio\" title=\"Audio: under_the_weather_-_other_ways_and_conclusion.mp3\">\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2541-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"height: auto;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/files\/legacy\/under_the_weather_-_other_ways_and_conclusion.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/files\/legacy\/under_the_weather_-_other_ways_and_conclusion.mp3\">https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/files\/legacy\/under_the_weather_-_other_ways_and_conclusion.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"719385803584335944\" class=\"wcustomhtml\" style=\"width: 100%\" align=\"left\">\n<p>Under the weather isn\u2019t the only way to say you\u2019re not feeling well. In English, there are a few other ways to express unpleasant feelings in the body, so let\u2019s explore some of those phrases.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m feeling a little off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Feeling a little off expresses you don\u2019t feel well, but you\u2019re not sure why. It could convey dizziness, fatigue, exhaustion, confusion, brain fog, or illness. This is a general expression that can be used in many contexts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m not feeling so hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This expression has the same meaning as under the weather and is the closest phrase to a true synonym.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m feeling rough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rough is a chameleon of an expression because unlike under the weather this phrase can also imply that you were out all night and not necessarily sick. However, Americans also use it to convey illness.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m sick as a dog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is an older phrase that is a step above under the weather. If you\u2019re sick as a dog, you\u2019re truly sick and should be at home in bed and\/or need to see a doctor. Hopefully, you won\u2019t have to use this phrase very often.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m knocking on death\u2019s door or I\u2019m at death\u2019s door.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Last, I hope you only hear or use this idiom as an exaggeration. It\u2019s a way of stating that you or someone else is very, very ill. Again, it is generally an exaggerated statement, but you may hear it in a serious context. Be careful with this phrase as death can be an emotional topic for some people.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Along with <strong><em>under the weather<\/em><\/strong>, you now have a range of phrases you can use to express feelings of illness when you\u2019re not well.
