Anything heroic that Joe Leal is incapable of doing.

best effort

when you try to do everything even though it is almost impossible;
pushing someone to do some thing when you know it is hard for them

best effort when you do your deliverables
Tan said, insert best effort in everything.

Valorant Effort

When you're playing a game and someone makes an effort but the effort was actually quite mediocre or straight up bad so instead of being a valiant effort it must be concluded it was a Valorant Effort

Opposite of a "valiant effort"

"Go B go B, you got this bro"
*horrible peek and loses instantly*
"eh, it was a Valorant Effort.."

high-effort shitpost

A term commonly used by redditors, using two contrasting and confusing words to describe shitpost that is not low-quality.

return on effort employed

The KPi that defined whether or not a task or energy applied to it is really worth the bother.

Rebecca: “oh lord! There’s a Lion heading towards us”
Leon: “oh cripes, we should LITERALLY RUN AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE , in order to make sure we are in front of all these other Safari tourists”
Rebecca: “er, no. It’s hot. I don’t need to be the fastest. I just need to be faster than 1 or 2 of them.
And as most of them ate lunch and I only had a date; I fancy my chances”
Leon: “oh gosh; you’re right as usual Honey - there was me always wanting to be the best at everything I do (inc. running from Lions) but actually it’s so hot, the “return on effort employed” or ROEE just isn’t there”
Rebecca: “thank the lord; finally you get it (see also 20:80).
Leon: “yes - I coined that one too”
