It's the rainy season again,
so here are some "RAIN" idioms.
Can anyone tell me what they mean?
Right as rain
Come rain or shine
It never rains but it pours.
Raining cats and dogs
A rain check
rain on someone's parade
Good luck

What does the third idiom mean?
ReplyDeleteGood question Masa.
ReplyDelete"It never rains but it pours." or
"When it rains it pours."
Is used to describe a situation when it is usually very quiet but occasionally very busy. For example, imagine you are at work and Monday & Tuesday are really quiet, then suddenly on Wednesday 10 different people give you tasks to complete. "When it rains it pours." It can also be used more abstractly, e.g., life is usually good, but when you have bad luck, it all seems to happen at the same time. (several unlucky occurrences happen together.) I hope this helped Masa & thanks for the question.
