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.

RonBee said:""Hanging up goat's heads and selling dog meat" does, no doubt, mean that the seller is advertising one thing and selling another. (Apparently, goat meat is considered preferable to dog meat.) I don't think that particular expression will catch on here (USA).
