It’s raining cats and dogs!
July 9th, 2008 in London
“Its raining cats and dogs” is one of my favourites English idioms. I haven’t heard it so many times, but non-English speakers are prone to remember it quite well :D. Native speakers use “It’s pouring down” or just “It’s pouring!” most of the time, but it’s just not as funny, right?
Nobody I’ve asked knows where it comes from and I still haven’t found an answer (see phrases.org.uk).
By the way, it means raining a lot and it seems it’s raining more today than the whole month of June!
And they call this summer….
