That reminds me of another expression: when pigs fly. I once suggested "ca le 
bavla'i rusydei" (the element-day equivalent would be "vardei"), which could 
be expanded to "ca lo cinomoi be lo febvari be'o noi rusydei". One could also 
say "ca lo nu lo jipci cu se denci" or "ca lo nu lo xarju cu vofli". The 
problem is that answering "ca ma co'e" with "lo bavla'i rusydei" means that it 
will happen on Grayday, which is impossible, since there is no Grayday. What's 
the right way to say it?
