Good morning everyone! We hope your week is going great so far! English language idiom of the week: When pigs fly – So, have you ever seen a pig fly before? Never? We havent either. This idiom basically means that something will never happen, like fat little pink mammals soaring toward the sun! There are various reports of the origin of this phrase, but pigs might fly, or as some would have it pigs may fly, is an example of an adynaton, that is, a figure of speech that uses inflated comparison to such an extent as to suggest complete impossibility.
