I always wondered where the phrase “under the weather” came from. When I was in law school many years ago I was working as a law clerk near where all the local TV stations were located. I went to the nearby drugstore to get a soda and found myself standing in the checkout line behind Bob Gregory, a popular long time Indy TV weatherman. He had a bottle of Kaopectate in his hand. I kind of leaned over to him and asked: “Hey Bob...a little “under the weather?”
He didn’t think it was funny.
Get well soon, Pro....
Good morning henkster ((HUGS))
It seems it came from nautical or seafaring origins. I found info here:
