Re “When it rains. . .”
50-cent (“fittysen”) wasn’t even born when Morton first used that on their salt containers to point out humidity didn’t affect the salt’s performance. And Morton only used it because it was already a common expression that consumers would catch onto right away.

Mike Lance – (rise and shine) February 6, 2018
The origin of this phrase is much older. The earliest use of ‘rise and shine’ in print is in Isaiah 60:1. King James Version, 1611, gives that as: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”
OV – (when pigs fly) February 6, 2018
It is a real expression that people do use, certainly in England.
Dale Dealing – (once in a blue moon) February 2, 2018
I think the definition is incorrect. The phrase “once in a blue moon” is an Indian phrase for the 4th full moon of a season, Europeans came along and started calling the 2nd full moon of a month a blue moon. The time between a true blue moon is much longer than 32 months.
Brit – (get hitched) February 2, 2018
It doesn’t mean people are being tied together like a horse and a wagon. It’s an alternative form of “tying the knot”. In Celtic times, pagans tied their hands together in a hand-tying ceremony that was equivalent to marriage.

When someone kicks the bucket, that means he has strength. Why should he die?
