Sick as a Dog! Raining Cats and Dogs!

That's so true! Even I use I COULDN'T CARE LESS. But there have been times when I had real messy time with such usage. Just give me some time, I will get back. Poor memory - need to whet it.

i hate those lol.. but yet i catch myself saying them.. maybe you know what the heck this one means that i heard "joey (or whatever name you want to say) was talking cotton" wtf?!?!? i heard it from an really ignorant hick lady that was talking to several people and they seemed to know what it meant.. i am clueless.. haha for some fun there are the "he's scared sh!tless" when you see on tv the opposite happening when some ones scared..

this a hard one but i will give it a go well a family that prays togather stays together or never say never.stupid is as stupid does,give me a break,also some people use a lot of slang in their language.you heard the saying if a dog bring a bone it carrys one back.this means gossiping about someone.

I remember reading something about this. It was a long time ago. Lets break it down one at a time. It is raining cats and dogs There is no definitive origin for this particular phase. It has got something to do with with the pets of the god of rain and the form which witches take. And witches ride like the wind on their broom sticks. So, people of the old times, then use these phases like dogs to refer to rain from the rain gods, and cats to refer to the way witches ride like the wind. Therefore the phase cats and dogs being referred to strong winds and heavy rains. I couldn't care less Well, from what I interpret it, when you say "I could care less", gramatically, you are caring, and you can care less than what you are currently caring. When you say "I counldn't care less", it means that there is no lesser to care for you cannot go beyond not caring in the first place.

i have a little book with all those and the origins in it, but its on its way to my new residenence yet with all my other stuff

Whatever is one that is most often used. I think it means I couldn't care less also. Another one is Don't hate, that one means you are jealous. Duh is another one that one I think means you have done or said something stupid. I get these saying from the younger crowd.

when a dog gets sick he vomits all over the place so to express that is what a human is doing we say sick as a dog, raining cats and dogs came from back in medieval england. They didn't allow their cats and dogs in the house and they had thatched roofs on their house. The cats and dogs used to sleep on the roofs. But when it starting to rain and the roofs got wet they were very slippery and the dogs and cats would fall off and hence, it looked like it was raining cats and dogs.

Are you sick??Or just meet a heavy rain??? Or you just bored with some matters from your parents or your friends??

I've heard 'sick as a dog' and 'raining cats and dogs' all my life! I guess they are handed down from generation to generation. I have heard 'fat as a hog', 'full as a tick' (NOT very full, right), 'green as grass', 'crazy as an old wet hen', 'have you lost your marbles?' (meaning crazy!). I have to admit I use 'I could care less'.
