Is the Pope Polish?
back in the day, before there had been a polish pope, back when no one thought there would ever be anything other than an italian pope, people used to say this ironically, that is, as a way to say “no way, not in a thousand years!”
now it can be used to indicate something that was thought to be improbable but that actually happened.
another old one was “does a wild bear sh-t in the woods?” which led to “does the pope sh-t in the woods”
original usage:
do you think we’ll get a good raise this year?
is the pope polish?
alternate new usage:
do you think obama will try to run for president in 2016?
is the pope polish?
