    1. Peelie wallie
    2. [Feeling] wonky (okay, that might be more British-English slang, but it's humourous.)

    Can you give me more? Be sure to include a definition with your vocab word.

    Growing up we had an English couple as neighbours who used the term "wonky" when one wasn't feeling well. So I suspect this is a south of the border thing, but it sure does describe the dizzy feeling that goes along with the flu. It also describes a wheel that is about to fall off.
