From what you've described, I don't think you have a snowball's chance in heck. - What does "have a snowball's chance in heck" mean here? 3. I think you're going to have to be mature and reasonable, and realize the time has come to call it quits. - What does "the time has come to call it quits" mean here? Thanks very much to Teachers,  Stevenukd. Stevenukd Joined on Wed, Aug 31 2005 Vietnam Regular Member 946

Thanks very much to Teachers,  Stevenukd. The actual expression is "a snowball's chance in Hell". Imagine how hot it is supposed to be in down in Hell and then imagine how long a snowball would last down there. "To call it quits" is to stop doing something, normally as an agreement between two or more people. milky Joined on Thu, Jan 15 2004 Senior Member 3,149 Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".
