When pigs fly : Never
If you say when pigs fly, you mean something will never happen.
People sometimes say, "And pigs might fly" to mean something a person just said will never happen or is impossible.
(절대로 일어 날 수 없는 상황을 이야기 할때 사용)
A : Do you think she'll ever come back and work with us again?
( 그녀가 다시 와서 우리와 함께 일할까?)
B: When pigs fly she will. (She will never come back again.)
(절대로 그렇지 않을 거야)

A: We might get a raise when another person becomes the president of this company.
(우리 회사 사장이 바뀌면 급료를 올려받지을 수 있을지도 몰라)
B: And pigs might fly. (It'll never happen.)
(절대 그렇지 않을 거야)
* 돼지가 날으는 일이 없으니까 불가능한 상황을 말할 때 When pigs fly를 사용한 것 같습니다.

(우린 해외여행 꿈도 못꿔)
Have a nice day!
