It's raining cats and dogs = racist
Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sat Apr 18 23:25:50 2026 Doctors and nurses have been ordered not to say “it’s raining cats and dogs” and “the early bird catches the worm” to avoid offending foreign patients. Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust instructed staff against using the phrases in its diversity and inclusion training, claiming that the terms were not culturally sensitive. It warned that the terms “may not translate well across other cultures” and may need to be explained to international colleagues or patients. --- The last sentence is the worst part of diversity I've come to learn. If you cannot talk with ANYONE, then there's no point in having people around.
