"Hailing" sounds like "hail" (frozen rain) — so worse than raining cats and dogs is hail-ing (hailing) taxis! The phrase "raining cats and dogs" likely originated in 17th century England, when heavy storms would wash dead animals through the streets. Modern taxis got their name from "taximeter," the device that calculates fares based on distance traveled.
