It was an English language class. The teacher came in a bit late, his umbrella dripping. He puts the brolly aside and wiped his glasses.It is raining “cats and dogs”,sir, said a boy looking out of the window, cats and dogs? Snorted the teacher.It is raining “cows and buffaloes”.Cows and buffaloes are certainly heavier.But they do not make weightier phrase. In fact, their phrasal use means nothing. For cow and buffalo do not stand for what cat and dog do.

In Urdu we have a cat phrase “bhigi billi batana.” It is about rain,but has nothing to do with cats and dogs.The story behind it is that one monsoon night a man expected rain and decided to sleep,not in the open but in a room.His servant lay down on a mat near the door.Around midnight the man asked the servant to see if the sky was clear. Without going out,the lazy chap said that it was cloudy yet.
