Outside chance phrase
A chance that could happen but is very unlikely.
I have a test tomorrow, but I haven't cracked a book yet. However, there is an outside chance that I might be able to pass the exam.
However, to be realistic, we have to concur that there is an outside chance that schools and classrooms will be book–free in the next decades.
This phrase comes from horse racing in 1845.
Do you see anything wrong?
Daughter: So I really want all my friends to have a great time. I was thinking it would be a good idea to have some candy out on the tables for people to snack on.
Mother: Well, if you want them to really enjoy themselves, candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.
