raining cats and dogs

Due to the rain, all the flights were canceled, so we can not arrive at our hometown in time to join my brother's wedding.

The original use of this phrase was discovered in the 17th century and has been one of the most popular English phrases ever since. However, there are no effective clues to the place or cause of the first discovery of the phrase.

Representation may come from Scandinavian myths, medieval superstitions, obsolete words Catadupe (falls), or an animal died on the streets of Britain is being picked up by the rough water.

One thing is for sure, this phrase is not caused by rain pets like cats and dogs. We tried to elucidate how pets like cats and dogs are related to heavy rain, but there is nothing comparable to a serious one

When it rains, it seems like pets, cats, dogs, etc will fall, strongly hit umbrella. Perhaps this idiom is a strange imagination, a result of a person famous for British history.

We had a cat and a dog about the idioms problem that it was raining ("It is very raining"). This and other ambiguous idioms often lead to vague explanations. I came up with the idea that some early British rain washed away cats and dogs from the roof (they might have lived there). Another suggestion is that the flood takes the dead cats and dogs to the river (the speaker concludes that poor animals are falling from the sky)

Is there anyone who wants to know what happens when cats and dogs are really raining? Well, I will give you my opinion on this subject! The world will be so overly impressive! Every day 1,000,000,000,00 dogs and cats are falling from the sky. So many dogs and cats are equal to more animals without houses, and also injured in a very high autumn ... I am a rain cat and dog, population over, for more homeless animals I dislike it and more injured animals will hurt!

Are snow-covered cats and dogs wrong English? Well, we said the rain cats and dogs, but all the water that should rain to freeze in the snow for the past 2 days, the cat and the dog under the snow. Taking a break from the office means catching up with housework, which also means to snow shovel :( The good part is to exercise by doing this;)

Even if you see the storm outside the window, it is not surprising to hear that people speaking English say "It is a cat and a rain that is raining". This expression is used to express heavy rain. Other claims include "storm", "heavy rain", or "storm". Many historians believe that the expression "cats and dogs that had been raining" appeared in London during the plague of 1665. This epidemic is a fatal disease spreading through fleas. These small blood-sucking insects chew infected mice, and then infect human beings with the disease. Pest - also known as "black death" - has a mortality rate of 60%, killing many people throughout Europe. More than 100,000 people lose their lives only in London
