what's going on?/what's bothering you?/what's bugging you? Explanation: Since Andrea comes from personal experience, I'd go with her explanation, if it works in your context. I'd never heard that phrase used in that way, so did a bit of digging of my own, in Google, and found: http://www.virtue.nu/misanthrope/stories/conversation_at_daw... '...Zeke just plain didn't seem right. "What's digging you?" I finally asked, after what seemed to be a very long time. "My mom," he answered without hesitation.' |
