From the post:

>A 'bomb cyclone' bringing heavy downpours, flooding, and landslides is set to hammer the West Coast on Christmas Eve and further endanger holiday travelers. The entire California coast is under a severe storm warning this morning, with major coastal cities from San Francisco to Los Angeles expected to see at least two to four inches of rain and near hurricane-force winds reaching 70mph in certain parts of the Bay Area and Northern California. Some areas inland have been warned that an extreme 'firehose' of rainfall could deliver as much as eight to 16 inches of rain throughout California, including in the Los Angeles basin and the Sierra Nevada and Transverse mountain ranges.

That headline had me worried for a minute. Then I saw that it's just California...

Yeah, click bait. I usually try to add some context to the title like (west coast) but forgot. It happens.

God damn. Why am I picking at language. Maybe it’s the lacherely.

Ok, Firehose in most all contexts would lead you to believe it’s about torrents of water. Wow, yeah torrents would have been better.

When you say “drink from a firehose” it’s relatable because we all know how much we can take into the pie hole, and a fire house, realities to our mouths, well it’s volume production is big, and mouth intake is less than.

That said, fire hose of rain over las Angeles is like “throwing a hotdog down a hallway”. It’s like taking a piss on the side of the road. Never mind. But technically the euphemism doesn’t work.

English, how does it work?
