From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Where I come from it rains nearly every day. I'm sorry.'
Ptraci's brows furrowed. 'Who reigns nearly every day?' she said.
'No, I mean rain. You know. Very thin water coming out of the sky?'
(Pyramids-167)


rain -> rein

Reagen -> Regen {de} -> rain -> rein : "Are you sure you want this precedent? Apparently you do"
(Reagen lived on a ranch, "a place where animals are kept")

trainspotting :

"You want to spot when you are using (economic) reins to exploit somebody else" [1]
[1] The problem is again to define when an "economic rein" becomes exploitative.

And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKeena was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him.

Rain + God creates the association between rain and god.
