Pit in My Stomach ( or ) In The Pit in My Stomach :



Just as you can love someone from the bottom of your heart, you can also experience a sensation of dread in the pit (bottom) of your stomach.


I don’t know whether people who mangle this common expression into “pit in my stomach” envision an ulcer, an irritating peach pit they’ve swallowed or are thinking of the pyloric sphincter; but they’ve got it wrong.
