    Then again most languager have their moment of lunacy. I my native Danish we have a very common phrase: "There is no cow on the ice"
    You might try to guess what it means

    If you think that is insane, how about the many who've lived here all their lives and still cannot understand English?

    Just make sure to take cover when it's raining cats and dogs. 

    But when someone tells you to kick the bucket, don't do it.

    But from what I hear "Kick the can" is a very popular childrens game.

    It been a long time since I played it too. It involved enough shouting to make the neighbors complain. That is probably one reason such games tend to go in and out of fashion
