What does 'never in a month of Sundays' mean?

In: Idioms and Slang [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is just a phrase to say that something is unlikely to happen or not happen for a very long time.

A month of Sundays is a long time. A month is, for basic purposes, 30 days. To come up with 30 sundays, would take 30 weeks, or roughly 7 and 1/2 months.
