possiblie

An intentional misspelling and mispronunciation that illustrates the hubris of ever claiming that nothing could possibly go wrong. From the episode of The Simpsons where Itchy and Scratchy Land is described as the place "...where nothing could possiblie go wrong. Oh. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong." Itchy and Scratchy Land is a takeoff of Jurassic Park, which itself is hubris in theme-park form. Possiblie is used when it is obvious that something probably will go wrong.

Potsible

Something that is so stupid, the only way you would ever believe it is actually possible is when you’re THAT fucked up. Like... Like fucking... fucked up.
That fucked up.

Like, on a scale of one to sesame street how high would you have to be? You’d have to FUCK Yellowbird. Who you would call Bluebird. Because you’re that high.

And only when you’re THAT high, would your absolutely SHITFACED mind believe you could do anything close to what you’re about to do.

Oh, and then, you finally, realize, an hour later, its Big-bird.
Don’t worry. Its potsible bro.
