Where I'm from we say it is 'carnival in hell'

[-] NeighborOfTheBeast@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going with "rainshine" but maybe thats just me

[-] meanmon13@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

It happens very frequently in Florida, I know of it as a sunshower. It not unheard of for your FoV to be filled with blue sky but it's actively raining... that is when people mention sunshower. I've heard the devil is beating his wife but only rarely.

The devil what?!?

[-] columns_columns@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

We always said it was the devil’s daughter was getting married.

[-] Aremel@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I felt like I was taking crazy pills until I came across this comment. I've always heard this one instead of the "beating his wife" one.

I've also heard some variations of this one like "a witch is marrying the devil" or "a witch is getting married".

I personally call them sunshowers.

It's a sunshower (also, hoagie and pork roll).

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

[-] Skoobie@lemmy.film 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] jsheradin@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've never heard any word or phrase for this, but sunshower just seems intuitive to me

[-] ZagnutInSpace@literature.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

I've decided I hate the domestic violence one. One I heard a while back is "a monkey's wedding" and that has a much better mental image.

[-] emmeram@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It’s always been, “The devil is getting married,” for me.

[-] bilb@lem.monster 2 points 1 year ago

From Northeastern PA, and yeah I immediately thought "oh, a sunshower?"

But yeah, the devil doesn't have a wife wtf

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Well then who the hell is he beating?

[-] ChapolinColoradoNZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Sol e chuva = casamento de viúva"

[-] Lammy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What is the “other” here?

[-] ThatsTheSpirit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Sun shower here in PA

[-] callyral@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

it is the birth of rainbows

[-] PetteriSkaffari@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Rainbow weather.

[-] bauhaus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

so, it’s New Yorkers that say this, and places New Yorkers go when we retire or can’t afford to live in NYC anymore.

lol

Wait. The Devil is above us doing an R Kelly? Does that mean god is in hell?
