When Will Pigs Fly?
Did you know?
What do you think of when you hear the phrase “when pigs fly”? Do funny images of pigs with wings fill your mind? This common saying is used to express the idea that something happening is highly unlikely or even impossible.
For example, if you ask your parents when they’re going to buy you a brand new Ferrari, the answer might very well be: “When pigs fly!” You can spend a lot of your time scanning the skies for flying pork, but your chances of seeing a flying pig are about the same as seeing a shiny new red Ferrari in the driveway.
Can you think of any phrases where the answer might be "When pigsfly!" Post you phrases as a comment.
