"Will Rogers" second chance

Refers to the rare and off-the-scale-wonderful "lucky break" obtained in the following scenario: you are "just suffering" to say something rude/impolite, but then of course you immediately regret said verbal-indiscretion just as soon as it's slipped past yer flapper. But then --- by the grace of Fate --- the unwitting recipient of your snide remark either hadn't been paying attention properly when you'd uttered your auditory barb, he is a bit hard-of-hearing, or you hadn't been speaking loudly enough to be heard over the distance and/or other background noises that were present at the time, and so your "victim" never actually understood --- nor did he suffer any emotional distress from --- your insult, and so he innocently/apologetically asks you to repeat yourself. But of course, YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY THE MEAN STATEMENT A SECOND TIME --- now that you've "relieved your internal pressure" by initially making the simmery-tempered remark and then THINKING that the other person heard you, you can now proceed more clear-headedly, and so you can simply say, "Nuthin'" or, "Never mind" when the other person asks you what you'd said.
I was heatedly peeved about how long it had taken the local garage to repair my car, so I made a regrettably-choice remark as I entered the office to pay my bill. Fortunately, though, the office's connecting-door was still somewhat ajar as I spoke, and so the din of the noisy garage-tools drowned out my derogatory statement, allowing me a classic "Will Rogers" second chance to just clamp my tongue. Yup, Ol' "Willie R" was right --- "Never miss a good chance to SHUT UP."

Snowball's Chance In Hell

Where a guy tells his woman that she can give him a snowball kiss after he cums in her mouth, but instead he covers her mouth and punches her in the stomach to make her swallow, and then runs away.
Jenny is so mad, she wanted to snowball me, but I gave her a snowball's chance in hell instead.
