🇺🇸 English Expressions: Feeling Groggy 😴
Hey everyone! 👋
Today’s expression is “feeling groggy.”
👉 It means feeling weak, tired, dizzy, or not fully awake, especially after sleep, illness, or a shock.
It’s that foggy, slow feeling when your brain isn’t working at 100%.
Origin:
The word comes from 18th-century British slang. “Grog” was a diluted alcoholic drink given to sailors. After drinking it, they often felt sluggish or dazed — hence “groggy.” 🍹
Examples:
• I feel groggy this morning — I didn’t sleep well. 🛏️
• He was still groggy after waking up from a nap. 😴
• The medicine made her feel groggy. 💊
• I’m always groggy before my first coffee. ☕
