Buckley's

Buckley's

Little to no chance of something. Of uncertain origin, it is either a reference to "Buckley's and none" (a pun on the name of former department store Buckley & Nunn), or to the escapades of the escaped colonial convict William Buckley. Primarily heard in Australia. I'd say you have Buckley's of getting that loan approved.
