Lazy Effort

Where more effort is used, just to be lazy.
Instead of trying to pull the tv remote close to you with a broom handle, why not just get up?

Naa, im just using lazy effort.

. I.e. trying to complete a task in a way that needs more effort, just to be lazy.

E.g. jumping to get something off the top shelf instead of getting the chair.

Valiant Efforts ≠ Acknowledgement

If you we're to do something to someone there's not a fixated chance that you get acknowledged, usually because of the person's selfishness and true nature, hiding someone's name in despite of not getting attention when the person is mentioned.
“Where did you gain such immense prowess on the subject?” Asked Person A

“Oh, I actually learned it myself!” Person B proudly lied, without any acknowledgement of the teacher who taught them.

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”
