kneecast
/ˈniːˌkɑːst/nounVerified NewThe claimed ability of an old joint injury to predict coming weather.
Grandparents and veterans swear the knee knows rain before the forecast does, and family folklore keeps an accuracy record nobody audits. The knee may be wrong about the weather and right about itself: it hurts, therefore it rains.
Etym. — knee + (fore)cast: the joint as a weather station, staffed by old damage.
