Welcome to the "Graynd" Duchy!
Stay-at-home dad Dan Franch invents a new weather term to sum up Luxembourg's gray and rainy weather - "grayn".
It’s been a peculiar turn of years, the new one beginning as gray and rainy as the old one ended. The sky has been the color of an oyster shell, regularly leaking rain from a colander of soggy Buckwheat Noodles. It’s neither appetizing nor uplifting. Thus, I’m proposing we introduce a new word into the Luxembourg lexicon – “grayn”; a portmanteau -- gray and rain.
Some derivations: “It sure grayned a lot yesterday.” Maybe a phrase to the tune of Supertramp; “It’s grayning again.” Or something slightly antiquated; “My, what a grayny day, grandma.”
