Under the Car

A phrase commonly used to refer to someone who is hungry, tired or ill. Can be used to describe general mental or physical discomfort. Much like it's closely related counterpart "under the weather".

First usage took place in early 17th century England. During the Black Plague many people would be referred to as "under the buggy" or "under the horse". Evolving to present day we now use the more present term "car".

Etymology: Under, from the German word Unter or Untersglagen literally meaning the physical presence of one being underneath another object. The, from the Japanese word ザ or やその他のためにと literally meaning having the resemblance of a preword or explanatory vowel. Car, from the Catalan word cotxe meaning a form of motorized transportation.

under the dock

the act of drinking so much the night before that the next day you spend the whole day huddled under the dock in agony instead of out in the sun on the beach. A hangover so severe that one isn't even able to enjoy being on the beach in the sun and instead hides in pain under the dock.

Under The Manburg

Made by the streamers Fluff0Fluff, T0x1cst0p, and Pxnkpastel, Under the Marburg is A Dream SMP webcomic about 3 girls (Fluffster, Toxic, and Punk) who put a iceberg on top of lmanburg, calling it ‘The Manburg’ and they start living in it. They cause chaos around the Dream SMP server and befriend Tommyinnit, and they slowly become Tommy’s apprentices. They meet more friends and foes along the way but in the end they just wanna do one thing. Annoy the fuck out of everyone.

The comic is still ongoing. The creators of the comic hope by making this, they can show people that they are funny and exciting content creators, and they hope one day they will blow up on social media and become popular youtubers/streamers! You can check out the comic on Fluff0Fluff’s Twitter!
