Why is it called a "meteoric rise" when meteors only fall?

@0x56 Meteoric meaning like things in the sky - meteorology isn't the study of rocks from space.
: )

@AskTheDevil - I guess. unless you count one specific rock from space

@0x56 I had nothing to do with it. You can't blame me. My meteor isn't even here yet.

@AskTheDevil - 👀 - aren't you known as the morning star? Aka Venus?

@0x56 Wormwood is the one I was referring to.

@AskTheDevil - not familiar with that one. I'll have to look it up.

@0x56 Don't feel bad. I get called so many things, most of them bad, that I can't keep track of them all either.

@AskTheDevil Lord of the Flies is kind of a cool one tbf.
