"under the weather"
doesn't it strictly mean ill or sick physically? But I looked it up on the net, some people suggest that it can also refer to as "having a bad day" or "that day of the month (for a girl)", or simply being "sad or depressed". So which is it then? Thank you

Raen doesn't it strictly mean ill or sick physically? I think 'some people' have stretched the meaning a bit, but it needn't be so strict; its meaning can be extended. From the simplest online dictionary: — under the weather 1: ill 2: drunk
