New tags in dad's can or bucket (4,4,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rain cats and dogs

'bucket' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new tags in dad's can or' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'tags'+'in'+'dads'+'can'+'or'='tagsindadscanor'
'tagsindadscanor' is an anagram of 'RAIN CATS AND DOGS'.

(Other definitions for rain cats and dogs that I've seen before include "Pelt" , "To fall heavily" , "bucket" , "come down hard" , "Pour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
