What is cats and dogs?

A full back stretch; you must bend over like you are taking it in the butt and go back and forth until it feels better (may take a while)

Megan's back really hurt after her workout so she did the cat and dog stretch and it suddenly felt amazing as if she got it in the butt.

Cats and dogs - what is it?

We say it's raining cats and dogs when there is a heavy downpour. It simply means a heavy rain.

The saying presents an interesting image of animals falling from the sky, that doesn't seem to have much to do with torrential rain, and experts aren't certain about its origin.
The most likely and least appealing theory is that rain storms in 17th century England would carry the bodies of dead animals through the dirty city streets inspiring people to say "it's raining cats and dogs"

Example: -Sorry I'm late for work it's raining cats and dogs and the streets are flooded.
-when it rains cats and dogs, you tend to get very wet.

What does "cats and dogs" mean?

As correctly stated, this is a literal phrase dating from 17th century England. Back in the day, peasants used what little land they owned for crops and such, so could not afford to keep cats and dogs on their land. As a result, people used to keep their animals on the thatched roofs of their cottages. When it rained heavily, the thatching became very perilous and slippery, causing the cats and dogs to fall off!

Oh golly, it sure is raining cats and dogs old chap!

Cats and dogs - meaning

A literal explination for raining cats and dogs is that during heavy rains in 17-century England some city streets became raging rivers of filth carrying many dead cats and dogs. The first printed use of the phrase does date to the 17th centurey, when English playwright Richard Brome wrote in The City Witt (1652): "It shall rain dogs and polecats." His use of "polecats" certainly suggests a less literal explination , but no better theory has been offered. Other conjectures are the the hyperbole comes from a Greek saying, similar in sound, meaning "an unlikely occurrence," and that the phrase derives from a rare French word, catadoupe ("a waterfall"), which sounds a little like cats and dogs. It could also be that the expression was inspired by the fact that cats and dogs were closely associated witht the rain and wind the Northern mythology, dogs often being pictured as the attendants of Odin the strom god, while cats were believed to cause storms. Similar colloquial expressions include it's raining pirchforks, darning needles, hammer handles, chicken coops, and men.

Cats and dogs

Usually referring to a depraved almost-sex act between a girlfriend and boyfriend who haven't had sexual intercourse yet, cat and dog is usually thought up by the boyfriend who is sexually deprived and is looking for a way to release his urges.

The act involves the two parties acting as a cat or as a dog, the female is usually the cat and the male is usually the dog.

The objective of the dog is to 'jump' on things whether it be a couch or objects on the ground but also to jump on the cat (hence why the male is the dog as they are most sexually aggressive) also the dog looks at the cat with puppy dog eyes whenever it wants the cat to play with the dog more.

The objective of the cat is basically to purr every time the dog pats her, but as cats get tired of things very quickly if she gets patted for too long she will scratch the dog .

there are many variations to this depraved act but those are the basics to how Cat and Dog is to be done.

Tim: Man I feel sorry for Misha; I hear he doesn't get any from his girlfriend.
Michael: At least he gets to play Cat and Dog with her!
Tim: Cat and Dog? What the faaaaak?
