How is it that "Fat Chance" and "Slim Chance" mean the same thing?

"Fat Chance" would be sarcastic. Slim chance would just be discouraging.

Beta is a measure of the market's risk measured by randomness of data. Correlation is whether stocks lose or gain value with each other. Similarity is that a risky stock is more likely to be uncorrelated with the market.

They both mean the same thing but the second is more common.

Usually they don't really mean fat.  They mean larger and meaty.  The opposite of the waif model.\n\nThick women have curves where they are supposed to.

slim is like, hipbones poking out skinny.  slender looks relatively normal, but still leans toward skinny.  fit and athletic are pretty much the same, maybe the person isn't as skinny as the slender and slim crowd, but looks like more muscle than fat.  thick is someone who isn't fat, but is just naturally not skinny.  a few extra pounds is like someone who was thinner and then gained some weight in the tummy area, etc.\npersonally though, i don't think a person's appearance should matter as much as their personality.

Buckley's Chance\nBuckley's chance is an Australian phrase meaning a slim chance or no chance at all. It is first cited in 1898 in the Sydney Bulletin of 17 December:\n\n"Devil shoot me!" muttered Tim . . . "if I see Buckley's chance of a shindy tonight."\nThe origin is unknown, but there are two common explanations.\n\nThe more likely of the two is that it is a bit of wordplay stemming from the name of the Melbourne department store of Buckley and Nunn, founded in 1851. The term is often phrased as there are two chances, Buckley's and none. \n\nA less likely, but more colorful, explanation is that it is a reference to William Buckley, a convict who escaped from Port Phillip prison in 1803 and lived with the Aborigines for 32 years before surrendering to authorities and obtaining a pardon. The problems with the phrase is the passage of time between his adventure and the appearance of the phrase and that fact that he did pretty well for himself in the bush. It's not the story of a man with no chance.\n\nAnd it is possible for both of these to be true–with William Buckley giving rise to Buckley's chance and it subsequently being punned into two chances Buckley's and none, playing on the department store name.\n\n(Source: Baker's The Australian Language; New Partridge Dictionary of Slang)

it depends on the odds.

The phrase is usually "as likely as flying pigs" or "pigs might fly".  It is used basically to express disbelief at the possibility of a particular event ever occurring.  "oh yea, and pigs might fly."

Why the mentioning of the "fat" so what if you are fat. That shouldn't be the reason why you feel he pays attention to you? I think fat is georgoeus and find yourself some1 who aint hitched already. It just goes to show that you want to boost your moral, and besides, forbidden fruit is always the best.

Our expectations are something that come from 100 percent logical values. to expect something is to realize that it will happen; and therefor to bank on it. To hope for something, however, simply means that you may rely on it happening, and genuinely believe that it will, but that from an exterior perspective, it isn't good to rely on it.

The possibility exists, but what is the chance?

probability is the # of favorable outcomes over the # of possible outcomes:\n\nprobability=\n# of favorable outcomes\n------------------------------\n# of possible outcomes\n\nfavorable outcomes would be the # of possible resultis in your favor\n\nexample:\ni have 5 cards- a joker, a jack, a queen, a king, and a ace. there is a 1 in 5 chance (1/5) that you will pull a jack...there is a 3 in 5 chance (3/5) that you will pull a royal card (jack, queen, king)\n\nin both examples, the first number (1 and 3) are favorable outcomes

The odds are based on the number of numbers you can select from.  For example, if the winning number is five numbers out of a total of 70, you have a chance of 1 in (70 x 69 x 68 x 67 x 66), since this is probability without replacement.  So the calculated odds are 1 in 1,452,361,680 in this example.\n\nAnd as for the answer that made fun of your use of commas, feel free to point out to him that his use of apostrophes was erroneous as well.  "comma's" was the word he used, and it really should have been "commas." :)

It is an oversophisticated way of saying the stock is a buy.  The term comes from the concept of portfolio allocation theory, which in general states that a diversified portfolio will in the long run outperform a non-diversified portfolio.  So in theoy in your portfolio you should have a little of this and a little of that.  The overweight concept is that if you have a little more of this than that, you will improve your portfolio return.  \n\nKind of stupid is my opinion of the term. If you overweight the stock, you are no longer as diversified. Oh well it is just a theory anyway.

Most cultures seem to be attracted to what is rare. It is a recent thing in modern civilization to have so many full-figured and even obese people. It also implies status. Busy people don't have time to work out and have great bodies. Wealthier people can afford gyms, trainers, and have enough leisure time to do sports activities. So, thin=wealthy, and thin=beautiful.
