Catchword: make it rain

Filed under: Georgia, English, Money & Finance

Part of speech: v. phr.

Quotation: From time to time, patrons flung plumes of cash toward the rafters, letting the dollar bills flutter where they may—a ritual known as “making it rain.” It began as a flashy way for big-timers to tip the dancers, but it has evolved into a thing unto itself—a raw display of wealth and power.
