  1. Bit like person of colour. Why use one word when you can use 3? And anything ‘cis’ is utter nonsense
     
  2. Add "under par" to that list; if you are under par you are playing well & probably feeling good, it should be "over par" if you're not feeling well.

  3. Ok that note, fun fact time….

    In older times sailors slept on deck. If they were ill they were taken below, especially if the weather was poor.

    That coined the term ‘under the weather’

  4. Under par could also mean below average (score) so kind of works for me.
     
  5. "uptick" & "uplift"
    Use the correct word - increase?
