December 9th : "pleuvoir comme vache qui pisse"

The French expression "pleuvoir comme vache qui pisse" (literally “to rain like a cow peeing”) means to rain very heavily — like “it’s raining cats and dogs!” ☔️

⚠️ Be careful: this is a colloquial expression, since pisser is a familiar word for to pee.

💬 Example:

You get this message from a friend you were supposed to go hiking with:

👉 "Hey Claire, I’d rather postpone the hike to a nicer day — it’s raining cats and dogs! 🌧️"
