Speaking of phrasing, Hec, thought you might enjoy another colloquialism I heard recently: The rain was "coming down like piss out of a boot." Speaker is Georgia native (not sure what part) in his 50s.
I suspect this is conflating "couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel" and "raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That phrase just makes me think of pigs breastfeeding. Which? Quite reasonable.
Oh, god. Visio, take me away.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Reverse it and you wind up with this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which is not safe for my work.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's nutty. But kind of fun.
