APAD: Pigs Might Fly

A sarcastic remark used to indicate that an event is very unlikely and/or to

question the credulity of someone. For example, "he said that he'd tidy his room

today," to which somebody might reply "... and pigs might fly" or other

variations such as "when pigs fly" and "oh look, I think I saw a flying pig."

I will use this on my boy sometime but wouldn't expect any effect. His room is

forever a mess. Through piles of books, bottles, clothes, and other eclectic

items, however, he sees a sublime beauty. He had everything in a perfect cosmic

order which his parents, with their fossil ideals and anachronic taste, have

failed to grasp. I wonder when I'm going to see pigs fly.

When may we see a flying pig?

当太阳从西边出来的时候～

There's hope. After all, some dinosaurs morphed into birds,

according to science. It took a long time, though :-)

Till pigs climb trees being the same metaphor on web

哈哈哈，poor innocent creature being picked 4 humiliation

Ungrateful human,slaughtering physically, insulting mentally

Pool pigs. 好像与猪有关的词语都是贬义词。

"Might";))..

红烧肉，没有贬义

为什么tiger fly就是好词呢？eg.如虎添翼：）

除了poor，也happy. 说一个人快乐，happy as a pig in mud. :-)

Ungrateful is human nature.

如＝＝as if, subjunctive mood. I won't take it seriously :-)

Pigs know humans ain't smart and won't take it personally:-)

So you prefer "will" or something else?

hahaha, you made my day :))

上树前，还少了那啥一句吧？LOL

When elephants fly, so will pigs.

The key word : H.O.P.E !!!

At least one elephant did. See the 1941 documentary

in History channel: Dumbo :-)

Let everyone's imagination fly.

很形象。

哈哈。很受大众欢迎。
