"The Greek calends" = lịch Hy Lạp -> nghĩa là không đời nào, sẽ không bao giờ có chuyện đó.
Ví dụ
I think it would be absolutely insane now to say that yet again we have a, you know, a phoney (giả) deadline, it all can be kicked off until - kick the can down the road 'til the Greek calends.
A “No” or a postponement (trì hoãn) of the decision to open negotiations (đàm phán) until the Greek calends shall mean a loss for the Albanians. And any loss faces the winners.
In principle, of course, half the people denouncing (tố cáo) Johnson for advancing Brexit claim that they too want to see Brexit passed; in reality, they are trying to delay it until the Greek calends, which a classical scholar like Boris Johnson would know means “until the day of never.”
