Fat Chance Vs Slim Chance

English is an awesome language.

Take for example the term: "Fat Chance" which means "little or no chance of success".

On the flipside, we also have: "Slim Chance" which ALSO means the same thing.

Wha-??? Wait a sec... Shouldn't they be opposites? That doesn't make sense!!!

The same goes for "slim hopes" and "fat hopes" as well. Well, at least there's no weight discrimination.

Yeah. I know: English. It rocks.
