Sometimes there are things that are not likely to happen, and we’ve got a few expressions to talk about them! Have you ever dreamed of flying to the moon? Or maybe you hope that your boss will give you the day off tomorrow. Fat chance. Listen to this episode to learn a bunch of new expressions, including slim chance. What is a Member?
Maura: So, there is an example where we use the expression fat chance. And this means that there is not a good chance of that happening.
