i want a really opinionated weather app. don't give me "Overcast" or "Scattered showers," give me "Dreary as shit. Real soggy toast vibes out there"

@typhlosion looking up a weather app on my phone and seeing "fuckin brass monkeys out there, mate" is definitely far more evocative and tangibly understandable than "-2 degrees with a sse wind of 45 mph with 5% humidity"

@Ronflaix @typhlosion don't understand the etymology ...entymology??... fuckin'...

I don't get the original meaning and context of the phrase "brass monkeys" but it's south england slang for "really cold and windy out and you definitely want a coat and/or scarf/gloves"

@typhlosion @Ronflaix ah thank you! I forget which way those go around.
