Idiom of the Day

📚a gut feeling

✍🏾Meaning:
If you have a gut feeling, you sense something about a person or a situation, without knowing why, but you're sure what you sense is true.

❗️For example:

🔺As soon as I came into the room I had a gut feeling that something was wrong - and then I saw the dead body.

🔺Chaz said his gut feeling was that Laura was lying and, sure enough, she was.

🗨Origin: Probably derived from the fact that many people experience emotions and intuitive feelings as being centred on, or having a strong effect on, the stomach area, which is also called the gut. Interestingly, the nervous system's second biggest network of closely-interconnected neurones, after the brain, is located in this area of the body.
