Swimming is a great way to exercise your whole body. But what does it mean if something makes your head swim?
D: I need to print a report for a meeting in five minutes! And the printer is not printing!
A: I can help. First, open drawer #2 and move the papers around. Then check areas 4-B and 5-C and maybe…
D: You’re not helping. You’re making my head swim!
A: Or I could just print it for you.
If something “makes your head swim,” it makes you feel confused or overwhelmed, usually because you’re given a lot of complex information. But huge or shocking news can also make your head swim.
