    If he majored in literature, she must be the breadwinner in the house, otherwise there is no way they could afford such a big house.

    When it’s raining dogs, you can always tell by the poodles on the road.

    Okay – maybe it’s not literally raining cats and dogs, but the sky, from this window at least, is mostly furry.

    I’d always understood that this expression was an idiom…

    There’re many etymological suggestions, for this idiom. My personal favourite involves animals dying in the thatch-work, getting knocked down by the heavy rain-fall, and the open sewer. Does anyone have any others?

    One rainy day, my wife told my 5 year old grandson to look for the cats & dogs. He replied, “Grandma, that’s just an idiom!”

    My Davis weather station has a crawl that activates when rain gets heavy. Yep, it says “It’s raining cats and dogs”.

    I might call myself a literature major, given the number of novels I have read in 20+ retirement years. Lots of good ones, too many dogs. Ironically, it’s the same with movies since the ’70’s, which became too expensive and dangerous to hearing in the ’90’s.

    One possible source of the term is the Greek cata doxa which sounds like “cats and dogs” but really just means “contrary to all belief”.

    The Greek phrase used in relation to the weather was found in the works of Lucian of Samosata, a 2nd century satirist (a sort of Woody Allen of his time).

    If he was a literature major, he should avoid cliches like the plague.

    It could be worse. It could be raining sharks. A Sharknado, if you will.

    It took me a second or two to figure out what was going on outside his window. At first glance, I thought the feline-canine weather phenomenon was an unusual piece of mural art.

    My hunch was that “cats and dogs” was an expression meaning “with violence,” derived from the natural antipathy between the species that turns many an encounter into a donnybrook. Similar to “going at it hammer and tongs.”
