"antediluvian"
It literally means "before the Biblical flood." I always look forward to rainstorms. I can't get too much of a good thing. 40 days and nights of a deluge would be just about right.
I also like the way it conjures up images of an ancient era: the kind you can only explore if you're Indiana Jones.
I was disappointed when I learned that it has a negative connotation: outdated, archaic, antiquated. Then again, as Hallsey could tell you, I like "old man drinks".
Next time it rains, I'll have to have a Manhattan.
