soaker
Long steady rainfall
A soaker is something that soaks or gets soaked.
The word most often describes a heavy rainstorm: We're in for a real soaker tonight.
In hockey, a soaker is a shot that gets past the goalie.
Children's water toys marketed as "super soakers" have made the term synonymous with powerful squirt guns.
