Funny, but we use the same thing about the Devil beating his wife in Romania as well. At least in Transylvania we do. It's surprising to see this being used in the US as well. I wonder where it originated from.

Apparently the first time this was used was in France 1703. More info here: https://www.theidioms.com/the-devil-is-beating-his-wife/
