pigs might (or can) flyBritish Used ironically to express disbelief: ‘Maybe he’s trying to change.’ ‘And maybe pigs can fly.’...- As the Police are to get their 76 per cent increase, maybe we will see a local bobby walking the beat and incidents such as these would be totally avoidable, then again pigs might fly.
- Today was exactly like yesterday and to think tomorrow will be any different is the hope that pigs might fly.
- The Truth might be there - undeniable and incontrovertible - but there'll still be people who'll say the world is flat, that the moon is made of green cheese and that pigs can fly.
