Quote from: Abbot Mythos on February 11, 2026, 10:31:14 AMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on February 09, 2026, 11:31:55 PMI learned a new word today:I've not yet come up with the perfect, catchy phrase that oozes the essence of 'adynaton.' So, I think I'm going to need more than just one new adynaton.
adynaton is a figure of speech, and a rhetorical device, in the form of hyperbole taken to such extreme lengths as to insinuate a complete impossibility.
I was curious about what form of speech the phrase "When pigs fly ..." is called, and the word popped up. Now, my self imposed challenge is to invent a new, catchy phrase for my personal use that simply oozes the very essence of 'adynaton.'
Now, this one is far from perfect, but variations of it should amuse me on the occasions when it's an appropriate reply:
"Just like when the South started the Civil War to end slavery."
