If you have not yet noticed, English is my second language. Trying to have some fun with the depressing rain, I would love to pick you'all brain a little. Let's have some fun and see how many expressing we can find to describe the rain. I will start with the only one I know:
"it is raining cats and dogs"
"it's a frog strangler"
gully washer
Mine is simple, downpour.
My grandmother used to say "Nice weather for ducks!"
Coming down in sheets...
Perfect for ark building...
the sky's opened up
coming down in buckets
"perfect napping-on-the-couch weather"
"Memorial weekend killer"
Time to visit the shores of Confederate Lake again!! ;D
It's raining so much that River road actually becomes part of the river.
Or if it's a kid asking why it's raining I like to say "God's crying" when they ask why i like to reply "probably because of something you did" - Jack Handy
How about this old superstition: If the sun's shining at the same time that it's raining it's because the devil's beating his wife.
Who knew Satan had a wife?
:D Deep thought's with Jack Handy
yep, i'd better quote him on that!
Rain:
a deluge from above
liquid torrent
the clouds are spitting
good hair day wrecker
Thunder & Lighting:
God bowled a strike
right, the angels are bowling!
goose-drownder (I have no idea why geese would drown but that's what my Dad called it)
"The sky is crying...can't you see the tears roll down the street?" Stevie Ray Vaughan
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
John Foggerty
As my West Virginia grandmother used to put it: "It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."
^ HAHAHA!!! Brilliant!
rainin' pitchforks n sawlogs
Toad-strangler.
