You'll still be the reigning a**hole of rec.boats. Jeez, next thing you know it will be raining cats and dogs. Did you know that that phrase is supposed to have originated in 17th century England when heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals like cats and dogs in the gutters? Well, now you do. It also comes from mythology. Witches, who often took the form of their familiars - cats, are supposed to have ridden the wind. Dogs and wolves were attendants to Odin, the god of storms and sailors associated them with rain. Well, some evidence would be nice. There doesn't appear to be any to support this notion. Pretty cool huh? Where does the expression about raining assholes come from? rec.boats? |
