This came across my FB feed today as a "flashback" from somebody in the local music scene. When you need band-name subtitles.

"It's raining cats and dogs" is not really a metaphor for "it's raining a lot", is it?

Yes. It means it is raining very heavily. The phrase, or variations of it, date back to the 1600's.

I'm not disputing the meaning of the phrase, I'm disputing the meaning of 'metaphor'. I thought metaphors were supposed to be symbolic of something, like "the sky has broken open" meaning a sudden onset of rain, or "when it rains, it pours" meaning when something bad happens, the worst happens. The leap from "it's raining heavily" to "it's raining cats and dogs" doesn't seem to have much symbolism.

Wikipedia describes metaphors in detail, which makes me even more confused.

I know, I'm killing the joke deader than dead - is that a metaphor?

I suppose technically it is an idiom.
