under the weather

During the days when ships were powered by sail, the captains log documented everything that happended during the day. As sickness could spread rapidly on a ship,there were often times where the number of sailers that were ill exceeded the space provided in the log to record their names. During these times, the excess names of the sick were recorded in the next column, which was reserved for the weather conditions of the day. Thus, it was not unusal for an ill sailor to be listed "under the weather".

Don't get too close to Ahab, he is under the weather today.

I just don't understand, how can I when I can't even comprehend!

A general statement made when you're perplexed with certain results.

Hypothetical: You put a 6 team NFL football parlay in.

As the games get under way, right from the get go, it doesn't look good.

In sheer astonishment, you state, "I just don't understand, how can I when I can't even comprehend!"

undergraduate degree

An oxymoron. Before one receives a degree, one is an undergraduate (has not graduated). Upon receiving a degree that person becomes a graduate, therefore one can't hold a degree and be an undergraduate. Degrees earned after ones bacelor degree are called graduate degrees, which seems to have led to the mistaken notion that a bachelor degree should be called an "undergraduate degree".

He graduated last year with an undergraduate degree.

Extreme Underwater Basket Weaving

n: an illegal underground sport in which players must weave an entire basket underwater on one breath. If more than one player should manage to finish, the one who has created the most intricate or cleanest basket is kept alive while other contestants are shot. Most players drown in their first match. Some variations occur in EUBW, such as mines, sharks, and harpoons.

Bill: Mrs. Johnson, I'm so sorry about your loss. But how did your son die?

Mrs. Johnson: He drowned in an Extreme Underwater Basket Weaving tournament.

Bill: God rest his soul.
