English language !

[wgdanson]

Woke up this morning and my angel, as usual, asked me how I was, how I slept. I answered that I felt a bit poorly in the night.

'Poorly' she asked, 'what is that?' Ill I replied. 'Ill, what is that?' Unwell I replied. 'Unwell, what is that?' Not so good I said.

'Oh, you a bit sick' she offered, 'not 100%'. Yes my love I replied.

So anyone, what's the difference between POORLY, ILL, UNWELL, SICK?

POORLY: You just about get it up

UNWELL: You are not feeling like you want to get it up:

SICK: You sick bastard! ????

Great. But of course POORLY can mean BADLY, ILL can mean EVIL (Ill will), these days SICK can mean GREAT. 

No wonder it's HARD (difficult not solid) for foreigners (what's the G doing in there?) to learn English.

None. They are synonyms.

To confuse matters even more, try saying "Indisposed," "out of sorts" or "ailing"

 

My wife would say "sick little bit"

Or quite often she will ask 'you hanging over?'
