Yes. it is. But in May it's nothing extraordinary. If you haven't heard this expression yet, maybe you start to wonder: "raining cats and dogs"? Yup, it means it's raining very heavily. There are lots of other idioms that use animals. Take for instance, the expression: paper tiger. It is used quite often and it refers to something or someone that seems more powerful or dangerous than it actually is. Or when you hear a story that is suspicious you may smell a rat. Here is a quiz I made last week for my students. It is about animals used in idiomatic expressions. Check how many of them you can get right. (When you have finished the quiz all your answers will be highlighted and you can read or click on the 'Explanation' after some of the difficult questions.)
