In
English, we often use the term "when pigs fly" to indicate something
that will never happen. It's become so common that we've managed to make
flying pigs a pop culture meme.
It's not the only way to say it in English, and other languages have
their own colorful phrases for "not gonna happen." For example:
Israel "When hair grows on the palm of my hand"
Hungary “When it’s snowing red snowflakes”
Portugal “In the afternoon of Saint Never’s day”
There's more of these at
Nautilus , and even a world map showing where more idioms are used.
