The usual Old English word for cloud was weolcan. In Middle English, skie also originally meant cloud. The four fundamental types of cloud classification (cirrus, cumulus, stratus, nimbus) were proposed by British amateur meteorologist Luke Howard (1772-1864) in 1802. Figuratively, as something that casts a shadow, from early 15c.; hence under a cloud (c.1500).
Thanks for the A2A. Okay, the most famous song in the world is no doubt 'Happy Birthday', followed by various Christmas carols (since the majority of human population is Christian indeed and since Santa is a really famous guy), folk songs, army marches and national anthems.
General Commentthis is the greatest love song ever. the lyrics are just immense. sadly, i think in reality, it's hard to even feel anything close to what the song is portraying. still, that is one helluva love we can all hope for. playitcoldon June 25, 2008 Link.
