The friend group text that means leave now, explain later.
means A violent, cold north-to-northeast wind that blasts down from mountains onto coastal regions, especially around the Adriatic.
from From Italian/Serbo-Croatian 'bora', tracing back to Greek 'Boreas', the name of the north wind god. The connection is appropriately violent — Boreas was imagined as a fierce, blustering figure, and the wind that bears his name still slams down the Dinaric Alps onto the Adriatic coast with gale force, capable of flipping trucks and shutting down highways.
