Poorly

[Everythingisnumbersnow]

Aibu to find it really annoying how English people use this word?

Sick. You mean sick. Unwell. Under the weather.

Unless the question is "how did Rangers perform?" and the answer is "lol poorly" it has no place in the English language.

I don’t use “poorly” however I find “sick” being used to mean any generic illness rather than actual vomiting, far more irritating than “poorly”.

That is the normal usage in many places though.
You’re just not accustomed to it being used in that sense, but it’s not wrong.

Same

Scottish person living in Yorkshire - nearly everyone uses "poorly" here, myself included. What's so offensive about it? It describes perfectly what is wrong - someone in poor health.

Rangers are shite though, agree with you there.

Are you not English then?

when I was at school it was a euphemism for being on your period. Also "unwell"

Poorly means poorly but not dreadfully ill

Suck means upchucking

Sick! Apologies no edit on the app

It annoys me when people say they are 'sick' when they are unwell/poorly.

To me you are 'sick' if you are throwing up

This!

Oh I’m not saying it’s wrong, I don’t correct people in real life if they say it (except my child). It’s just a fleeting irritation.

Goodness, I really touched a nerve there! Sorry... I touched an owie owie.
