Love and a cough cannot be hid.

The old saying goes “Love and a cough cannot be hid”. What does this mean? It speaks to the idea that when you are truly in love, or suffering from a cough, it is not possible to hide these feelings.

When it comes to love, your feelings may be on display even if you do not say anything out loud. Those around you can tell from your body language and expressions what is really going on. Similarly, a coughing fit will also draw attention no matter where you are – especially if you’re trying to keep it a secret!

At its heart, this phrase reminds us that some things cannot be kept hidden or controlled, no matter how hard we try. Whether we like it or not, our emotions and our bodies have minds of their own and will make themselves known. In the end, the only thing we can do is accept what is and work with it instead of trying to suppress it or push it away.
