| Editorial Comment | One problem is that the expression gets no hits on WWW pages and is not in any of the dictionaries that usually record sayings like that. The expression 雨が降ろうが槍が降ろうが *is* in the dictionaries, and gets about 10k hits, so I will substitute it. |

| Comment | As my obsession with logic and consistency is well-documented, you will understand why I like the simpler (which I made up and found to be perfectly acceptable)
腎石. I mean if we have 胆石, it seems to be both logical and "politically correct" to give equal simplicity to "kidney stone". |
