forever and a day
Time without end
Forever and a day is an emphatic way of saying forever—an impossibly long time, or eternity plus one.
The phrase appears in promises and complaints alike: I will love you forever and a day, We waited forever and a day for the check.
The extra day underscores that forever alone doesn't capture the duration.
