unpossible

Beyond all possibility

Unpossible is a playful or childish mispronunciation of impossible, used humorously to emphasize absurdity or mock faulty logic.

The word gained currency from a *Simpsons* episode where Ralph Wiggum declares Me fail English? That's unpossible!

It signals ironic self-awareness about something obviously wrong or illogical.
