Our (UK) social glue is talking about the weather. We are rain experts. When we speak out about the rain, you know it’s bad.

Is it true that like the Inuit have hundreds of words for snow, that the brittish have hundreds of words for rain?

We have ways to describe rain from “that fine rain that gets you really wet”, to “its pissing down” and “cats & dogs”. Not quite Inuit levels of specificity. However, you aren’t even British if you can’t hold a solid rain conversation

In Scotland there’s “smirr”, which is a very light drizzle.
