Fat Chance and Slim Chance maen the same thing because the government wants to exert onto us the fact that we cannot control our own language, this
is only one way the government is planning to control our lives. By imparting this simple fact to us, they can move on to bigger things.

I have the answer to clear up all this mess. If you say "Fat Chance" it means "Big" meaning there's a big chance you would not get it. "Slim Chance" it means "small" so there is a little chance that you would get it. Both are sarcastic ways of speaking. W
usually say the "Fat Chance" 'cause it makes it sound more rare and harder to reach,

ok, let's take this scenario: the fat chance and the slim chance are in a race.
BANG!
The race starts!
Fat chance is already out of breath after walking a few steps. He falls over in a heap, gasping for breath
Thin chance is getting held back by the slight breeze. He can't run, the winds force is too strong.
So neither fat nor thin chance won the race, so neither are 'good' chances.

A sarcastic tone is often applied to the phrase
"fat chance", thus the actual meaning is contradictory to the literal meaning. "Slim
chance" is often spoken with a sincere tone and
therefore is interpretted in its literal sense.

Yes! A question that has puzzled scientists across the nation! I believe they mean the same thing because people don't know what the hell they're talking about! Like when people say : "She thinks she's so hot." Iit means the same as : "She thinks she'

The phrases both mean the same thing, "no chance". Fat and slim are dimensions, each of which mean totally different things but the use of langauge in slang and culture brings forward a different meaning like in "wood".

Fat-you wouldn't fit through the door...
Slim-you would slide through the cracks...
Just right-neither would happen, and you would have a chance.

Well, considering the amount of slim people that seem to believe that they are fat(we call them anorexics), and the number of fat people that are in denial about their weight and believe that they are thin, the words have grown to mean the same. Its just
the same as when an ingrown toenail starts to hiss and moan from having to live half inside of you, and starts whispering sadistic things to you in your sleep. I swear, I didnt kill the cows! The toenail did it! It was the toenail!

Because there were two brothers, Fat Timmy Chance and Slim Jimmy Chance (their parents were Good Lila Luck [her maiden name] and Another Henry Chance). Fat Chance and Slim Chance were very unlucky, so everyone who knew them associated the two Chances with
bad luck. Fat was considerably more popular with the west coast kids, since Fat was more cynical, while Slim was more so with those east coast kids. But they were both popular, so the expression rang throughout the land until today, where the origin was u
known. So there.

A chance is a chance is a a chance. Whether fat or slim, it still has the same properties. Besides, one shouldn't judge a chance by it's weight anyway...wouldn't want to be prejudice, eh? You know the old saying:" You can't just a chance by it's weight"

In a previous lifetime, long ago, I encountered a fat guy whose last name was chance. He enjoyed to pillage chicken farms for wild butt-sex while dressed up as a horse's ass. One night he was pecked to the point of mutilation, and they had to remove the f
t that was peckered (haha). So now, he's slim. There, slurp, yeehaa, wopshhh.

Fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing
because fat people can never slim down and slim
people can never fatty up, so they both mean
that it is very hard for a person to have a good
chance of something happening.

It doesn't really matter whether the chance is Slim or Fat, because even in people, it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, either fat or slim, it's whats inside that counts right, so it doesn't really matter whether its a fat chance or slim
hance it just matters that you are getting another chance!! :)

They mean the same because fat and slim are 2 totally opposite things, so they cancel each other out to equal zero. Therefore Zero Chance!!!

Because Fat Chance and Slim Chance ARE the same thing....only Fat Chance had a little rendez-vous with Richard Simmons, lost 103lbs and changed his name to Slim Chance. On his birth certificate, it say "Fat Chance" but he legally changed his name to Slim
Chance in 1987 to celebrate his new figure.

The fat chance represents the white man and the slim chance is the black man. Now because the white man is so fat he has barely any chance at all. And since the black man is always being prejudiced, he has as good a chance as the white man

It's a politically correct thing. It started out at just being "Fat chance", but then the skinny people got mad because they're supposed to be on top of everything. So then it was switched to "Slim chance" and then the larger people got angry at the lack
f recognition. So, to make everyone happy, we made it both.

They mean the same thing because slim chance means you have a small chance, and fat chance is always said sarcastically, meaning the opposite of what you actually say.

The same reason they call overweight people slim --- it is a cruel twist of words.
Being as a big fat man I work with is called Slim, I am sure that any chance of him finishing his work is next to nothing.
