Question:Shouldn't one of them mean you have a "good" or "great" chance. I would say since fat chance has more girth, than it should mean you have more of a chance.
If I have a conversation, I want to be able to say:
Askee: Hey you going to eat them delicious fries.
Me: There's a pretty fat chance that I'm going too!
And mean that, the chances that I'm going to eat them are relatively high. Sounds good doesn't it?
Answers:
When saying something like "Fat chance of that happening" , the fat is often stressed and intended as sarcastic. So it comes to mean the reverse, and be identical to saying "Slim chance of that happening"
