You want me to use a 5 syllable word when a 1 syllable word will do? Fat chance!
You can sing the word instead, that's always more fun https://youtu.be/O_Mc0z8tTCM |

Full sayings:
The "in hell" gets dropped from fat chance making the colloquialism confusing. This is similar to the "blood is thicker than water" shortening of "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", people who have always heard the first one often use it as an argument for " family sticks together "; when the saying really means the bonds we form of our own choosing are stronger than any presumed by family. |

Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. Literally means both literally and not literally. |
