@landontalks: Can we talk about the phrase the devil’s beating his wife? Who decided that was okay to say? Who is the devil’s wife? When did they get married? And why is it raining while the sun’s out and we’re blaming HER? If you want more of this kind of chaos but live: Raleigh, I’m at the @improvraleigh this Thursday night. Brooklyn, I’ll see you Saturday for Books and Bluegrass at @urbane_brooklyn . #SouthernSayings #SouthernCulture #LandonTalks #LiveComedy #RaleighEvents #BrooklynEvents #PodcastClip #funny #WeirdPhrases #SouthernHumor #BooksAndBluegrass #ComedyShow #PodcastRecommendations #Sunshower #DevilsBeatingHisWife #WeatherLore #SayingsExplained

…with a frying pan. But my mom flipped the script and would say the devils wife was beating him with a frying pan. Because my mom wasn’t having it the original way. 🤣

I hate the phrase, too, but it’s so deeply ingrained in my Alabama soul that I can’t help but think it when I see it happening. I never taught it to my kids though. 😳

My mom would say, “Well it’ll rain this time tomorrow.” There was no devil allowed in our house. 😂

I always heard the devil was beating his wife behind the kitchen door… I was always perplexed as to who would marry the devil. And why behind the kitchen door? We had a kinda different kitchen door, so I always wondered if the backwards Z on the kitchen door meant something more… 😆

I just read the phrase has been around for centuries! Some of the earliest seen in 1703 from a play script
