Overseas once, I heard an Aussie, after listening to how it rains here in the Cascade foothills, describing his local's reaction to rain.

Terror. He said they'd call a "football" game or cricket match ".....if a cloud appeared on the horizon."

He's holding his hat and pointing: "WHAT the F**K is THAT?" "RAIN!" And they'd all run for their lorries.

It was pretty funny, in the Strahlyun accent. "Ey dun like tuh get wet, know?"

(He really wasn't afraid of stereotype, himself, in kahki shorts and folded brim hat. At first I thought he was, like a shill, for the travel bureau. Poster perfect. But he was the real thing, and I think maybe the funniest person I've ever met.)
