to have an intuition that something is wrong or about to happen · a strange sense of unease
This expression is perfect when you sense something isn't quite right, or you have a gut feeling about an upcoming situation, usually not a good one. 🕵️♀️ It's like your internal alarm bell is ringing! 🔔 You might not have solid proof, but your intuition is screaming. It's often used when you feel uneasy about a person, a place, or a decision.
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'funny' usually means humorous, in this expression, it means 'strange' or 'unusual'. So, a 'funny feeling' isn't a hilarious one; it's more like a subtle sense that something is off! Don't confuse it with 'feeling funny' which can mean feeling slightly unwell physically.
When would you most naturally say, "I have a funny feeling"? A. When you're excited about a surprise party. B. When you suspect your friend is hiding something, and you feel uneasy. C. When you're absolutely confident about a decision you've made.
