Feeling under the weather
Meaning: To be sick. To feel ill.
Example:- Mary: What's wrong Marina?
- Marina: Uhhhh....I'm feeling a little under the weather...
- Mary: Oh no! We should go see a doctor!
Origin: This phrase was originally used by sailors (people who sailed boats). In the old days, when a sailor was sick, he was sent downstairs (below deck) so he could rest and get better. He went under and away from the bad weather.
