What does "divine flattery" have to do with "throwing butterballs at statues of gods?"

#1 I've seen it rain frogs and poop. Seriously.

#2 Okay except the term originated before the invention of copper jacketed bullets. They were solid lead which was firm enough to withstand the pressure but soft enough as to not damage teeth.

#1.i once read that during the spring in the middle ages people would bring their cats and dogs into the house and they would keep them in the rafters. But because the roofs were thatch roofs if it rained particularly hard enough the cats and dogs would literally fall out of the rafters and into the living space. Idk if it's true or this is, but that's another origin of the term I've heard.

I wish that people creating these lists would look it up, not make it up.

e.g. "Arm and a leg" has been found in newspaper archives since 1901. Not ancient, and certainly not related to battle carnage in the World Wars.

This will likely get worse now that AIs are being trained on the hallucinations of other AIs.
