Under the Weather
What it means
Mildly unwell, in the way that makes you want a blanket rather than a doctor.
Where it comes from
It is nautical. A seasick passenger was sent below to the weather side of the bow, the sheltered spot where the ship's motion is least felt and the spray goes over you rather than into you.
The puzzle it came from
Under the Weather was the answer to the Phrasicle of May 5, 2025. The clue read ____ the ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
