Ever heard someone say it’s "raining cats and dogs" and imagined a furry storm? In this episode, we dive into the origins of this bizarre idiom. Is it rooted in Norse mythology, medieval sanitation, or just a wild misinterpretation? We’ll unravel the truth behind this phrase, debunk some persistent myths, and explore how language evolves in unexpected ways.
