Gretzkying

A gutsy approach in a given situation. It involves the act of taking a chance where you have nothing to lose; knowing that if you never try, the outcome will forever remain unknown.

Inspired by Wayne Gretzky's famous quote-
"You miss 100% of the shots you never take."

Most commonly used in a situation which involves approaching a member of the opposite sex.

Lucas: C'mon bro, just send her a friend request.
Aaron: Nah man, she'll prob just think im weird.
Lucas: What do you have to lose? Gretzky that shit, man.

Robbie: There's a new job oppening at the Dunkin' Donuts.
Michael: So, why don't you apply?
Robbie: Iuno, I don't think I'm qualified.
Michael: You're being a pussy.
Robbie: You're right. Fuck it, I'm Gretzkying it!

Grete

Grete is a name and a term was derived from the adjective “great”. Back in the 1500’s, Grete was a very popular name in Iceland and countries of Scandinavia. Currently it is not very popular and is mispronounced 98% of the time. As I’m sure most of you just pronounced it in your head as either “Greet, Gretie, Grate" or maybe even just “Greg”, it is pronounced the same as Greta.

“I can’t believe how Grete that ice cream cake was. It was like I was able to travel back in time and punched a T-Rex in the face"

greta

A German girl who never looks up to someone else. Greta can be extremely stubborn and unforgiving but she is also the sweetest and most caring person some will ever meet. Greta doesn't need a lot to be happy but she often struggles with self- loving and excepting herself. Greta loves people that take the time to get to know her and look after her. Greta gets very mad when people correct her on her grammar, problems. Greta is very independent and likes to figure things out herself. If you correct and greta she will try to find any possible way she could be right. A greta is also someone that gets sad very easily. Greta may seem like a person who stubborn and tough to get to know but once she knows that you care about her she loves you to no extent. Greta could sometimes be blinded when a person like a fake friend pays attention to her.

"Yes I know Greta, she's the one in our class that always thinks she is right, but she is so cute"
