Grammar
Rain as a passive voice
Can you say 'I was rained on'?
I've been mulling it over for a while now but I can't seem to figure out if it's grammatically correct.

I've certainly heard "We got rained on" in casual conversation. The metaphorical use (like "don't rain on my parade" - don't give me bad news about something I'm happy about) could easily use the passive.
