In fact, I just watched The Apartment, from 1960, black and white movie with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon, and at some point he says “that’s just the way it crumbles, cookiewise” long before Bruce Almighty. 🙂

From my research of “When it rains, it pours”, the original saying was, “It never rains, but it pours.” As two of the three earlier comments stated, the more familiar former of the two was coined by the Morton Salt Company to advertise its new free-flowing table salt.

Hello, I would like to point out that the third example (“Tribal tattoos used to be all the rage. Now people are just stuck with silly symbols on their bodies.”) used to illustrate the phrase “all the rage” on this page is insensitive to the fact that tribal tattoos are more than a fad, they are an integral part of many indigenous cultures. When engaged through a fad they are in fact cultural appropriation. You could come up with a much better example that does not trivialize or white-wash Indigenous customs and ways of being. Please consider removing this example. Thank you!
