💠 gut-wrenching

✍🏾 Agonizing; extremely distressing, unpleasant, or emotionally disturbing; having a severe effect on one's feelings.

What a gut-wrenching loss for the young athlete, who poured her heart and soul into this match.
Kids today are so desensitized that images of violence their grandparents would have found gut-wrenching now barely even register a response.

📔 the rabbit died


📋Meaning
The woman to whom we are referring is pregnant; the pregnancy test was positive. (From an early pregnancy test developed in 1931 in which the urine of a woman thought to be pregnant was injected into a female rabbit; if the woman was pregnant, the rabbit's ovaries would react. A common misconception at the time was that the rabbit would die if the woman was pregnant, hence the expression.)


🤔For example ⬇️

🗣I saw Carol shopping for maternity clothes in the mall the other day. I guess the rabbit died!

🗣Honey, the rabbit died! It looks like we're going to have a baby!
