"You've got Buckley's"..

OK..

Can any Germans here answer these questions (without looking it up on the internet)?

1. What does "You've got Buckley's" or "You've got Buckley's chance" mean?

2. Where does this saying come from?

It means "no chance" or "very slim chance"

And it is an old Story. About 1890 as far as I know

Buckley's chance means, of course, 'no chance in the world', or about the same chance a snowball would have of keeping its cool in hell. The phrase is commonly (both earlier and nowadays) shortened to Buckley's.

William Buckley (1780 - January 1, 1856), was an English convict who was transported to Australia, escaped, was given up for and lived in an Aboriginal community for many years.

Buckley's improbable survival is believed by many Australians to be the source of the vernacular phrase "Buckley's chance" (or simply "Buckley's"), which literally means "no chance", or "it's as good as impossible". The Macquarie Dictionary supports this theory, although it also suggests that the expression was influenced by the name of a Melbourne business, Buckley & Nunn. However, the ANU Australian National Dictionary Centre tends to support the second theory.

"Hi, have a look at the German Thread, please."

Is there something about Buckley's Chance there?
