Hey Guys ! Whats up !
I'm Kamal from English tweaks.
We all do love to talk about the weather.
Yeah, its true because weather is unpredictable and it changes very frequently.
So perhaps it's not surprising that we have so many idioms and idiomatic expressions relating
to the weather.
Let's begin.
"Raining cats and dogs" means to rain very heavily.
Though there are multiple theories behind its origin, the most probable takes into account
the horrible state of sanitation in England at that time.
During heavy rains, the water coursing down the streets would often carry dead animals
with it.
As a result, even though animals never literally poured down from the sky, they became associated
with severe rainstorms.
For example: They didn't go to the theme park because it was raining cats and dogs
almost all day.
Next, Face like thunder.
This idiom is used to describe a person who being clearly angry or upset.
For example: She didn't say anything to her but her face was like thunder; she slammed
the door as she left, and we haven't seen her ever since.
Next, Storm in a teacup.
It's an idiom meaning a small event that has been exaggerated out of proportion.
For example : Their debate was only a storm in a teacup – actually neither of them took
the problem too serious.
Next, Chase rainbows - This idiom is used to describe a person who is delusional and
out of touch with reality.
They chase dreams that they are to old or not talented enough to be chasing.
For example : My wife never believed me and I would make it as an executive manager; she
thought I was just chasing rainbows.
Next, Head in the clouds- This is used to describe someone who is not being very realistic,
having impractical ideas and daydreaming.
For example: Is your sister in love?
I see her walking around all day with her head in the clouds.
That's it.
Don't stop here.
