Hi there. Welcome to Harry's World of Words and Phrases and English in a Minute. We're
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
them in people's ocnversations, you read them in articles. And sometimes not quite sure
what they mean. And when somebody uses them there is no hint from what they say as to
exactly what it means. Let me give you an example. So Under the Weather. If I said to
you I am feeling under the weather today what does that mean? Well, let me give you an example.
When you walk into a room or into your office and somebody is caughing and spluttering and
sneezing. And you say: "Oh, how are you feeling? Are you ok?" "Oh I am a little under the weather"
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
