This thread is about idiomatic speech. Sometimes regional patterns and sometimes general usage. Included here are adages and proverbs as well.
After Sunday's Panthers game, i was reminded of a lot of "wetter than" sayings. Here are some that struck me as particularly interesting. In all fairness, there are a lot of "wetter than" sayings that could be a little off-color, but still humorous. I've avoided them for the most part.
"It's wetter than a fire hydrant on a dog walk"
"It's wetter than a mermaid's flipper"
"It's wetter than tadpoles in a frog pond"
Wanting to be "fair", here's a couple about "dry" stuff. OK, so "how dry is it..??
"It's so dry my duck forgot how to swim"
"It's so dry the catfish are swimming with canteens"
If you're interested.... in a previous post there is a "dry" saying about a "popcorn fart". It required some provenance that I couldn't find, since the saying came out of one of my old spiral notebooks.
ENJOY...
