Weather Laughs
Why did it rain money during the tornado?
Because there was a "change" in the weather
What did one tornado say to another?
"Let's blow this town"
What is the difference between hurricane and
a lion who stepped on a nail?
The hurricane pours with rain
The lion roars with pain
Did you hear about the weather forecaster who
quit her job after making a wrong forecast?
She said the weather didn't agree with her
Why were hurricanes once named after women?
Because they're not "him-icanes"
Weather Words
Rain cats and dogs:
Rain very heavily
Fair-weather friend:
A person who is loyal in good times but not
When times are difficult
A whirlwind tour:
A very quick and superficial tour without
Any time to go into or observe details
To go through someplace like a tornado:
To speed through somewhere causing major
Change and/or destruction on the way through
To be cloudy about something:
To be unsure of or unfocused about something
To have one's head in the clouds:
To not have a grasp or understanding of
The reality of a situation
Lighting never strikes twice in the same spot:
A bad incident will not likely happen to the
Same person(s) twice (a saying which unfortunately
is not accurate)
To be full of hot air:
To say a lot of empty, meaningless words
To not know what one is talking about
To be windy:
To be very talkative without necessarily
Saying much that is substantive
To have a downpour of something:
To have a deluge or considerable
Amount of something
To strike like lighting:
To hit hard and fast either physically or verbally
Save it for a rainy day:
To save something, usually money
For possible future need
Under a cloud:
Less than entirely trustworthy,
Suspected of some wrongdoing
Under the weather:
Unwell, ill, drunk
Take (give someone) a raincheck:
To accept a different time for an
Appointment from the original one,
To request that an appointment be rescheduled
Take something by storm:
To rush in and take something with
Considerable force, often causing pain and destruction
Shoot the breeze:
To chat or to pass time by chatting,
To talk idly
See which way the wind blows:
To determine what actions or words will be
Popular or acceptable to one's superior,
To the people who control one's job,
Or to one's counterparts when one has
Something to gain by it, even through such actions or words
May not be what one sincerely
Rain on someone's parade:
To spoil or dampen someone's happy feelings
Get a second wind:
To get a second burst of energy
Dawn on someone:
Finally realize something that was perhaps
Already apparent to others
Clear the air:
To resolve hidden resentment or uncover hidden thought
Brainstorm:
To suggest any idea that comes into
Mind in an attempt to find a solution to a problem
Give someone a snow job:
To give someone a description of something or
Someone that is overly or unrealistically attractive and positive
Leave someone (get left) out in the cold:
To shun someone, to exclude someone
From a place or activity
Out of the blue (meaning out of a clear blue sky):
Unexpectedly, and often suddenly
Take the wind out of someone's sail:
To deflate someone's ego or to ruin or destroy
Someone's high expectation
Steal someone's thunder:
To steal someone's idea or words before
He\She can share them
