I CAN FELL IT IN MY BONES?

Question

Today I studied this idiomatic expression.

'I can feel it in my bones'

someboday says it means 'I AM SURE FOR SOMETHIG'

but some says it means 'I CAN FEEL IT INTUITIVELY'

which one is correct?or both of them are right?

It means the same thing more or less. The person is sure something is going to happen by intuition, without any logic or reason.

For example:

Take a situation where a friend at the other end of the world hasnt contacted me since many months, and I suddenly get a feeling he is going to call me today. I can say it aloud as:

''Today my friend is going to call me. I can feel it in my bones!!''

Dear friends,

I have heard British people say «I can feel it in my water». It means the same. It is a reference to the water in the bladder.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I have heard British people say «I can feel it in my water». It means the same. It is a reference to the water in the bladder.

Really? That sounds very un-British to me. Perhaps a current British resident could give us a second opinion.

'One day, my long-lost love will return to me. I can feel it in my water'.

Best wishes, Clive

...That sounds very un-British to me...

Remarkably, I seem to have used it on an old thread that has just unearthed itself in another section.

I have no recollection of the incident.
