Yes, that's how I always saw it but it's now just used when anyone has a cold around here.
Besides which 'laid up' doesn't make sense anyway. 'Laid down' perhaps would. But then people would just think you were having a nap.0 -

I can't bear "corporate speak" either!! Do they realise how daft it sounds? Another is "I feel your pain", and the daddy of them all for me is "so", e.g "You are soooo not going there" "you are soooo going to regret that" etc :mad:0
