6 More Days before I leave for Wisconsin and "The Lake"

I've been reading The Dictionary of Cliches by James Rogers. I came across one this morning that had me howling. So I've made it the Cliche of the Day.

Calamity Howler. A pessimist; someone who persistently predicts that bad things will happen. It is an expression of American origin, well enough known by 1892 to be reflected in the Congressional Record: "We have some 'calamity howlers' here in Washington as well as in Kansas." The thought is reminiscent of what Friar Laurence says in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:

Romeo, come forth; come forth, thou fearful man:
Affliction is enamour'd of thy parts,
And thou art wedded to calamity.
