A slim chance can get slimmer and slimmer until it suddenly becomes a fat chance...

What I never understood about that was why we have flammable, nonflammable and inflammable. Why do we need three words? Either it flams or doesn't flam!

My understanding is this: Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing--it can go up in flames. Nonflammable means the opposite.
