Sick, Ill, Flu, Under The Weather?

Yep, I’m slowly recovering from what I’m guessing is a heavy dose of the flu. That means I’ve been feeling sick, ill, not well, or as some would say, I’m feeling ‘under the weather’.

Now exactly what does that mean?

‘Under the weather’? Really? I have to wonder where that term originated. I’ve been conjuring up mental images of what ‘under the weather’ looks like, but can’t nail down a good picture of the saying.

So found some shots that seem to fit. What do you think?

 

    Is this a good day to stay in bed?

 

Umbrellas keep me under the weather.

 

This house is under the weather.

We are under some kind of weather!

Weather abounds above us.

But who can be sick under this kind of weather?
