If the flight is\u00a0<strong>&#8220;overbooked,&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>it means that the airline sold too many tickets, and there is not enough space on the plane for all the people who have purchased tickets. This means that some people will get\u00a0<strong>&#8220;bumped&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>to a later flight &#8211; they can&#8217;t go on the flight at the original time, and have to wait for a different flight later.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;It took me four days to recover from the jet lag.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Jet lag&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>is when you travel to a different time zone, and your body&#8217;s &#8220;clock&#8221; is different from the local time. This makes you wake up too early or feel tired in the middle of the day, for example. Depending on the time difference, it can take several days for your body to adjust to the new time zone. We can also use the word as an adjective:\u00a0&#8220;I&#8217;m jet-lagged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;My hotel was in a really seedy area.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>&#8220;seedy&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>area is a place that looks dirty, disorganized, and possibly dangerous.

If you got\u00a0<strong>&#8220;bitten up,&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>it means you got lots of bites by mosquitoes or other insects.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;I ended up with huge blisters after our walking tour of the city.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Blisters&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>are pockets under your skin filled with fluid.

The phrasal verb\u00a0<strong>&#8220;ended up&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>is used to describe the final result of something.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;Something I ate didn&#8217;t agree with me, and I got the runs.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you say that <strong>a food\u00a0&#8220;didn&#8217;t agree with you,&#8221;<\/strong> it means that it made you a little bit sick.

The adjective is &#8220;hungover&#8221; and the noun is &#8220;hangover,&#8221; so we can also say &#8220;I had a hangover on the last day of my trip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\">&#8220;I had to catch the red-eye in order to get back in time for work on Monday morning.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>&#8220;red-eye&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>is a flight that leaves very late at night and arrives early the next morning.
