In the 1970's in Australia, at least along the eastern coastlines of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, Hughie was the "Weather God" who surfboard riders called upon to send them weather conditions that would create good waves for them. I have not been involved with the surfing culture since that time so I don't know if surfers today still ask Hughie to send them the perfect wave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeborahDoris (talkcontribs) 23:25, 17 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Not sure about this derivation. The Greek god of rain was Zeus Heuei (from the verb heuein, to rain). The coincidence seems too great to ignore. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 12:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Which St Hugh?

St Hugh brings up a list of different saints with the same name. Which one - supposedly - is it? 85.3.213.105 (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hugh of Lincoln. But I've found another source which makes it clear that St Hugh is only one of numerous proposed referents. Hesperian 02:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

The word Hughie is only mentioned in the title, refs and external links and nowhere else in the article - move to Huey?

edit

The only mention of the word "Hughie" as the name of the Australian rain god is in the title, externals and refs. Throughout the article, the spelling "Huey" is used. Would a move (to Send 'er down, Huey!) be supportable based on this? Ellenor2000 (talk) 07:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
