under the weather. Ik Marvel, a pseudonym that resulted from a misprinting of J. K. Marvel, was the pen name of Ameri- can author Donald Grant Mitchell. In his Reveries of a Bachelor (1850) Ik Marvel is the first to record under the weather, which has been a synonym for everything from “ill and indisposed” to “financially embarassed” and “drunk,” and has even been a syn- onym for “the discomfort accompanying menstruation.” |
