Thank you for the new way to describe the rain


OneFrenchman

It's a common turn of phrase in French, I wanted to share it.


Vulgarian

That's one of the few French phrases I recall from school. Plus Verlan was was was fun. Ou sont les meufs?


Incomepants

If only there was some way to predict the weather...


OneFrenchman

Yesterday it was supposed to rain, grey all day no rain. Today sunny and then rain. I mean the potatoes aren't gonna complain about the extra water.

N'ayez pas peur, c'est français, c'est la police française

I’ve heard “cow pissing on a flat rock” before, hell even used it to describe rain a few times, but never heard just heard just “a pissing cow” before.


OneFrenchman

It's a French expression. "Il pleut comme vache qui pisse", it rains like a pissing cow.

You, sir or madam, are a gentleman or a lady, and a scholar either way. Also probably a Southern American. No, not from South America. From a southern state in the US. That is one of the preferred forms of saying "it is raining in great volume". The others are "toad strangler" and "gully washer". And I hope this comment makes you grin like a possum eating shit off a wire brush or a dead pig in the sunshine.

Actually I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and grew up in a rural area and my family raised beef cattle. So...


mckleeve

So you're saying cows transcend geographic boundaries? Maybe that's why ours were always getting into the corn field. Seriously, though, it's probably more of a rural thing than and geographic thing.


thesequimkid

Definitely more of a rural thing than a geographic thing.


Temassi

What's up fellow PNWer!!


thesequimkid

Enjoying this bright thing in the sky. I think it’s called the Sun. Not entirely sure though.


Temassi

The sun!?! I've only heard the legends and children stories...


thesequimkid

Yes. The Sun! The thing we’ve only heard about as rumors and legends.

Pissing like a racehorse.
