My grandmother used to say it all the time. I asked her once what she meant. She said it was a polite way to say you had gas.

"Vapors" is a term defined by rapper and musician Biz Markie through his song "The Vapors." He references some of his experiences envolving peoples treatment of him both before and after his success. The people caught the "Vapors" because they went from treating him bad, to treating him very good.

The "vapours" was usually a fainting attack, good for getting out of awkward situations but historians think it may have been caused by the tight corsets which constricted blood flow.

In Victorian England it was an expression to describe an anxiety attack and only applicable to women. In those days women were prone to fainting attacks and it was thought that this was caused by the emission of vapours in the brain that caused dizziness hence 'an attack of the vapours'.
