It’s Just a Little Rain

Probably everyone knows by now that the notion that the Inuit have twenty words for snow is a load of crap. However, you may be unaware that Vancouverites have twenty words for rain:


  • rain

  • drizzle

  • showers

  • sprinkle

  • downpour

  • liquid sunshine

  • bullshit

  • oh my god, it’s raining AGAIN

  • I can’t take any more of this shit

  • we’re moving to Phoenix

And several more. It’s a fascinating cultural phenomenon.
