Vocabulary: Feeling Nauseous?

Do you ever feel nauseous?

Trick question!

Nauseous is a smell.  Think rotten bananas.  If you say you’re nauseous, you’re saying you smell terrible.

Sometimes, you might feel nauseated.  Think morning sickness or the flu.  It is a sensation, not a smell.

The relationship:  Nauseous things can make you nauseated.
