True story. Back when I lived in Brooklyn, NY, I heard a pair coming out of
the subway ahead of me say "Good; it's not raining still". There is also the
'shut up/hurry up already' locution.

With the mentioned usage of 'yet', it seems to me we have a set of
peculiar-sounding time markerd that seem used for states, that of
not-raining, being hurried-up, or even 'being turkey-dinnered'.
