5. "It Gies Me The Boak"

Translation: Makes Me Feel Sick Whenever you see your ex kissing someone who is a total downgrade from yourself and you think about why you went there in the first place, you'll say 'eurgh, it gies me the boak' because you're feeling a bit sick thinking about it and looking at it. Just stop thinking and your problems will be solved. Tequila also helps.
