I ususally think of "cold" as going with feeling it in my bones. Maybe something like "I've also been through it," or "I have lived through that myself."

To be "chilled to the bone" is one thing, but here "to feel it in one's bones"
is just right, I would think.

I think that "tener una corazonada" is more like "I've got a feeling or a hunch."
Where do you find all these idioms? I think we should add them all to the idiom dictionary. They are great. |
