There was a time when I described Biblical rain as persisting it down. Admittedly it does sound like a more vulgar way of describing heavy rainfall and when someone responded with, "did you say p*ss*ng it down?" I would answer, "perish the thought." The subsequent eye contact was enough to tell me that they didn't believe me. Would I be so vulgar? Anyway, to reinforce Holly's observance of the weather, it is, as someone once said, raining Heaven's hard.I can't tell you how hard it's raining right now. It's more than torrential it's like a Monsoon.... at midnight .. so loud too..

Never heard that term and wouldn't have known what it meant if I came across it without context. Always learning something here...I say persisting down all the time...![]()
