Learn something new - Punaperson - 10-16-2023 People that love rain are called pluviophiles. It comes from the Latin word “pluvial,” which means rain, and " phile ,” which denotes a thing or a person. Therefore, a pluviophile is a lover of rain, or someone that finds joy and peace of mind during the rain. How have I lived on the East Side for over 40 years and never heard this word before? RE: Learn something new - TomK - 10-16-2023 Because you'd have had to learn Latin? And love the rain. RE: Learn something new - Durian Fiend - 10-16-2023 I remember the French word for rain is similar to this Latin term. Or you could go with Gordon Lightfoot's name- Rainy day people. Not much to be excited about lately for pluviophiles. Pretty dry! RE: Learn something new - TomK - 10-17-2023 Well, yes, but they're French. ![]() RE: Learn something new - Durian Fiend - 10-19-2023 (10-17-2023, 07:55 AM)TomK Wrote: Well, yes, but they're French.Le Big Mac. ![]() Pluie, S'il vous plait.
