Strategic Friday sickie?Morning Dees! Furies too, I guess.
I am quite under the weather this morning.
It's an odd turn of phrase. A quick Google uncovers.
The phrase “under the weather”originated in the early 1800s and was initially used by sailors. When a sailor was feeling seasick or unwell, they would often go below deck to escape the elements and recover, quite literally putting themselves “under the weather” on the deck above.
