bmo said:green_summer said:In China, we often use " rains cats and dogs " When I use this idiom first time, I felt it is very funny, how can the cats and dogs be rained?? *_*RonBee said:Never has it rained cats and dogs,
But sometimes it rains frogs.

From: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/298100.html
Meaning: Raining very heavily.
Origin: The phrase is supposed to have originated in england in the 17th century. City streets were then filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals. Richard Brome's The City Witt, 1652 has the line 'It shall rain dogs and polecats'. Also, cats and dogs both have ancient associations with bad weather. Witches were supposed to ride the wind during storms in the form of cats.
