cloud
cloud meaning
A plain white cloud. It stands for cloudy weather and overcast skies — and, overwhelmingly, for the cloud in the computing sense, which is now its dominant meaning. That usage is a small joke on everybody: the cloud is not a cloud, it is somebody else's computer in a warehouse.

That usage is a small joke on everybody: the cloud is not a cloud, it is somebody else's computer in a warehouse. It appears in weather contexts and, far more often now, in technology ones.
