"Fat chance!"
Answer:
HAH
Hint:
Think of the short, scoffing sound you might make when someone suggests something completely unlikely.
Explanation:
"Fat chance!" is a sarcastic way to say "no way" or "that’s impossible," often used when someone’s odds are slim. The answer "HAH" mimics the sound of a dismissive laugh, like scoffing at the idea of something actually happening. It’s a short, punchy response that fits the tone of the clue—quick and skeptical. Think of it as the verbal equivalent of rolling your eyes.
