Usage notes
edit- This is a generic advice given to one who is sick. It is now a humorous and sometimes sarcastic phrase, particularly loathed by girls who routinely receive this clichéd “advice” from their boyfriends, partners, or guys they fancy, etc., to whom they had just complained of their symptoms or discomforts.
- Hot water is considered therapeutic in Chinese culture, believed to have the ability to clear the body of toxins, alleviate disease symptoms and accelerate the recovery process.
