People who use the phrase “my soul and spirit”

[littkeredchairs]

I hear people say things like

“My soul and spirit cried”
“My soul and spirit sank”
“He touched my soul and spirit”

What do you actually mean by this?

I have never heard this in my life. No exaggeration. .

Never heard it before.

Never heard anyone say this. You must be around some very dramatic people

I've never heard this but might start deploying it at moments of inconvenience (like this morning when my teabag split)

Never heard it

Only ever heard people say that when speaking in Church.

Are you in church?

We obviously move in very different circles op!!

Is this some kind a speaking in tongues spiritualist church saying? Never heard of it before today.

Who said this? !!

Was it in a religious context? Cos even then I've never heard these.

Never, ever heard it, and I hang out with the hazy types a lot because of a bit of work I do.

Allan never heard of this!

I’ve heard “my heart sank”

Literally this is the first time I've ever heard this phrase! Whereabouts are you from? Is it a regional thing?

Soul or spirit?

Don’t they mean different things?

To me-

soul is like your inner core, feeling bit of you .

Spirit is more outwardly, more like your personality

Interesting, i’m not sure if they are different or not

Never heard it OP. Who do you mix with?!

Haha @MyotherUsernameisaPun the more minor the inconvenience the better

Never heard of that expression.

I would interpret 'Spirit' to be transitory, and 'Soul' to be something that has a permanent effect on you. So spirits can be lifted and lowered, but if someone touches your soul, and then e.g. dies, you'll never get over it, just learn to live with it. Likewise, if you walk into a jazz hall and it touches your soul, you'll spend the rest of your life seeking out jazz to lift your spirits. That's how I'd interpret it, anyway.

Never heard of it, even in a spiritualist church.

Haven't heard it but I can imagine some people using it on FB as a 'look at me' dramatic bollocks. Some people do talk crap.

Never heard it either 🤷‍♀️

Never heard it. Sounds like music and a stiff drink.

I’m glad to say I’ve never heard it either

Never encountered this.
