  • going to look at some idiomatic phrases or idioms or phrases depending you want to describe

  • them. Idioms are used a lot in the English language. You hear them in films, you hear

  • When you walk into a room or into your office and somebody is caughing and spluttering and

  • meaning I am not well. Okay. So anytime that you're feeling a little sick or a little bit

  • of a headcold or "man" flu as we like to call it then you can say I am feeling under the

  • weather. How is he today? Oh he is under the weather, I wouldn't disturb him. Okay. So
