Would you explain an expression 'rain on ~'
I saw Lois Lane saying "Nobody's raining on this girl's parade today." in Smallville 9 x 18.
The first translation I made was that sombody can make it happen to rain. But it doesn't makes sense.
So I looked for 'rain' in http://engdic.naver.com and I found an explanation-"If someone rains blows, kicks, or bombs on a person or place, the person or place is attacked by many blows, kicks, or bombs. You can also say that blows, kicks, or bombs rain on a person or place."
The second tranlation was made with it that nobody will get in the way of her date. But I'm not sure that's right.
I would appreciate it if you answered my quetion.
