"It was rainin' _wif_ *bullicks*!"

Spoken by a member of the posse of the Atlanta rapper, T.I., on "VH1's
Behind The Music."

"Raining bullets"? A cliche. But "raining _with_ bullets"?
Interesting, IMO, given its apparent spontaneity. Of course, it may
have been spontaneous because it was a tip of the slung. Still,
tripping over, e.g. "swarming with bees" while striding purposefully
toward "raining bullets"...

Youneverknow.
