    I grew up in the center of Mississippi. I always called it “the devil is beating his wife”. Idk why it was ever called that because there was no story; it’s just how it is.

      We had “the devil is beating his wife behind the kitchen door with a frying pan” and sometimes really old people would finish it with “on Sunday”

      I seriously have no idea where the fuck this comes from, and it’s so weird and I love it
