    From various TV shows and commercials I’ve inferred that “making it rain” means throwing a handful of cash in the air. I get the impression this must have started with some movie. Can anyone tell me which?

    I think this might be about the severe drought in certain parts of the country, and oh, gee whillikers, it just couldn’t be caused by anthropogenic global warming. I agree with those who say the current era is the greatest disconnect from science since the dark ages.

    Making it rain: The art of throwing money into the air at an exotic dance club. Also used as a tool to get away from someone chasing you by throwing money in the air and having a crowd form to block the way of the person chasing you. Of course it could just be talking about the drought that is happening in certain parts of the country. :)

    Not a one. The “dust bowl” is a myth.

    In a law office, a rain maker is an employee who brings in business that makes money to keep the office open.

    The Rainmaker, Burt Lancaster. Maybe it’s just about getting some kind of “job.”

    Also, “TheRainmaker” was a book by John Grisham and then made into a movie with Matt Damon – as g.smith points out, about a talented lawyer bringing money into the firm.
