first rain

It is a campus tradition held by students at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It's at the Porter College Quad when students run free of clothing throughout each of the ten colleges and then finish at the starting point. The rules are that it has to be consistently raining, it has to start at Porter College, and it has to be on a school night.

Student 1: Hey dude. Were you at the First Rain last year? It was totally crazy!
Student 2: Of course I was there! I was the first one back!
Student 1: That was you? 0.0 I will never look at you the same way again.
Student 2: Nah, I'm just playing I wasn't there.
Student 1: Good, because the first one back was a chick.
Student 2: Why do I have friends like you? (face-palm)

ready for rain

Originating in the Pacific Northwest, this term can be used to describe a person or group of people as being chill, laid back, "go with the flow" types. "If it rains, oh well, we'll make do". They're cool to hang around with because they aren't prima donnas or drama queens.
Alternatively used to more literally describe a laid back/outdoorsy style of dress usually involving hoodies/sweaters, wind breakers, or other water resistant layer to ward off potential inclement weather.

I was hanging out with a new group of people my friend introduced me to but one guy was being a real twat, the rest of them were ready for rain though.

sentinel rain

Sentinel rain is the first few drops that precede a real rain storm when one is unexpected.

While walking, I felt some sentinel rain; that told me it was time to tootle on home.

Wolf's Rain

In this anime, wolves are believed to be extinct for 200 years. Humans are sparsley scattered around, living in domed cities scattered throughout a desolate, wasted world.

Yet among them, wolves do roam. Disguised as humans, they seek the scent of the Lunar Flower to lead them to a place called Paradise, where wolves roam freely.

This show features 4 of these wolves: Kiba, Hige, Tsume, & Toboe as they search for Paradise. Accompanying them is Chesa, the Flower Maiden, crafted from a legendary Lunar Flower.

Hunting them is the wolf hunter, Quent, who knows that wolves still roam. Because of this belief, no one takes him seriously & think of him as a drunken old man. He hunts for the wolves with his companion, Blue.

As you watch the series, you see their triumphs, their losses, their struggles, & encounter new allies & enemies. There are several twists here & there, & an ending you won't forget!

Wolf's Rain, a truly awesome anime. Sadly, it's no longer shown on television. (Thank goodness for DVDs!)

make it rain

When you're in da club with a stack, and you throw the money up in the air at the strippers. The effect is that it seems to be raining money.

After Leroy finished trapping for the night, he went to the strip club, got 10 stacks, and made it rain inside the club the whole night.

Purple Rain

An expression of feeling or emotion brought on by the memory of a regretful action or loss, resulting in the personal knowledge that what has transpired cannot be corrected or undone (inspired by the popular 80s Prince song):

Joe - "Remember that girl I dated before?"
Mack - "Yeah, why?"
Joe - "I should have married that girl?"
Mack - "Nothing you can do about it now, Purple Rain man, Purple Rain."
