In English, there is the expression that a limb (usually a leg) “fell asleep”. It occurred to me that this is kind of a strange phrase.
For those unfamiliar, it refers to the numbness and sometimes a tingly feeling that comes with sitting in one position for too long. It’s related to nerve compression, but I don’t know much about how it works.
Does your way of saying this translate to “my leg fell asleep”? Or is it called something else entirely?
Any other fun expressions to share?
I’m just curious. Also if anyone knows if there’s a sub like this for Asia or Africa or South America, I would appreciate it. I couldn’t find any that seemed particularly active, but I may not have looked hard enough.
Thank you. 🙂
