Bilinguals: help me out with some idiom here? I'm looking for examples of emotion terms that anthropomorphise body parts: my skin crawled, hara ga tatsu = "stomach stand up". I have English, Japanese.. any other languages welcome! Transliterated into Roman alphabet if possible, not sure I'm up to learning new scripts in the next week. Just wondering if I can make a really obscure point in a topic I'm revising. Ta!

Hm. Will have to think. the only thing that springs to mind is that, in Welsh, you can use "to hear" to refer to sensations in all the senses.

Will think, no promises.

Hope you're feeling better.
