When pigs fly is an informal way to joke that you will never do something. Example: "Do you think you will ever work at that company again?" Reply: "When pigs fly!"
Pigs are heavy animals that stay close to the ground and do not fly, so when pigs fly is a time that will never come. Example: "Do you think your brother will be successful?" Reply: "When pigs fly he will."
When pigs fly is a time that will never come because pigs will never fly. Example: "Will you ever take her on a date?" Reply: "Sure: When pigs fly!"
Hope this may help.

Pigs are pink animals with snouts and curly tails.
To fly is to travel through the air raised above the ground.
"when pigs fly" refers to the time in early spring (usually during a full moon) when pigs undergo their mating flight. If you live out in the country you can often see swarms of pigs flying by the light of the full moon. It's very romantic, except for all the oinking and boinking.

It means NEVER (because pigs DON'T fly). The saying has inspired some people who believe you should "never say never" to create a line of flying pig items.

Its an expression that means that something will never happen kinda like when hell freezes over or something like that.
Usually people say it when somebody asks them to do something really stupid.
Pigs can't fly and they never will be able to it is genetically impossible for it to ever happen so people use it as a term to say NEVER.

It means that some people just do'nt want to do something so they tell you when pigs fly since pigs will not naturally grow wings ever.

When somebody wants to say "that will never happen" he says: When Pigs fly. Because thats basically never going to happen. For example:
A kid asks his dad for a RAZR, the dad will never give him dad so he says I'll do that "when pigs fly" in other words- NEVER!
