Hello once again, everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having an excellent day!

Today we continue with another common idiomatic expression. Today's expression can definitely make your English more interesting. ;-)

Today's expression is: when pigs fly

Meaning: we use this expression to refer to something that we think will never happen. 

Example 1: What? Jack is going to clean his room? Yeah... right... I don't believe it. Maybe when pigs fly!

Example 2: Our manager thinks our competitor will just hand over their client list. That’ll happen when pigs fly.
