Nobody has heard a phrase ...

that I grew up hearing. We'd say "I have a cold in my shoulder." It meant that a shoulder blade in the upper back was painful upon movement, a sharp pain. I woke up like that this morning. I looked it up and it's an actual thing. It's a virus in the fluid in the bursa behind the shoulder blade. You just have to wait out the infection. The other phrase that we used to use was "I have a cold in my eye." As a youngster every now and then one of my eyes would continually water copious tears. I don't recall it being pink eye, either. And a lot of people have never another phrase we'd use. When asked how I was I'd say "Oh, I'm fair to middling." Cathy and Shiloh
