The PHRASES of the WEEK
This week, with the temperature going down, more and more people aren't feeling well.
Let's take a look at four phrases that can come in rather handy during the flu season.
Be SICK
(esp. British English)
is to bring food from your stomach/ˈstʌmək/back out through your mouth (= to vomit).
Jill was sick three times in the night.
Mind, please, that the American "be/get SICK" simply means "unwell" with no nausea /ˈnɔːziə/ connotation.
Fall ILL (BrE)
is to begin to suffer from an illness or disease; not feel well.
Catch a COLD
means to become ill with a cold (a common illness that affects the nose and/or throat, making you cough, sneeze, etc.)
Come DOWN WITH
equals to get an illness similar to the flu (more serious than a cold, but not a deadly disease).
