Question

when pigs fly

Answer 1

they mean it will never happen...

Answer 2

It's figure of speech used to indicate the how unlikely a particular event is.

The implication being that it has as much chance as pigs flying, and since pigs don't and presumably won't ever fly....you begin to see the meaning.

Answer 5

Because some may be frustrated by the careless way some questions are written. Spell check is available to questioners but is often ignored (as you have been guilty of) Whilst it seems it is easy to complain about an answer that is less than 'never mind dear' there seems to be no way to complain about the stupidity of only some of the questions.
