Crazy that nearly every culture on earth has a name for it that’s somehow related to animals getting married.

Wonder if they all stem from the same ancient folk tail or if it’s just somehow convergence.

I have a theory that this has a special name less frequently the further you get from the equator because it’s a phenomenon that’s less rare when the sun spends less time overhead

So it’s from the French who took it from a poem about Greek gods. So the Christians stole from the pagans yet again lol.

“His wife” could be a…let’s say, “euphemism” for something else. In which case, that ain’t rainwater falling…

A few minutes before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the old man and said, “Don’t you know who I am?” The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”

“Aren’t you afraid of me?” Satan asked.

“Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.

“Don’t you realize I can kill you with a word?” asked Satan.

“Don’t doubt it for a minute,” returned the old man, in an even tone.

“Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY… for all eternity?” persisted Satan.

“Yep,” was the calm reply.

“And you’re still not afraid?” asked Satan.

“Nope.”

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, “Well, why aren’t you afraid of me?”

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for the last 48 years!!..

Am german. We do not have a word for this either. It’s just raining.

Of course you can always make one up due to how our language works, but that’s just to dumbfound Americans online.

It’s funny how german always caught this flack online when the nordic languages are the exact same, we concatenate words on the fly all the time.

Solskensregn in this case, sunshine rain.
