valleyant efforts

Da exceptional lengths dat are gone to in an effort to reach an end-goal related to a canyon or ravine.

After over a month of valleyant efforts, I finally managed to install a long line of metal rungs on a hillside so dat people could more-easily climb up and down said slope.

high-effort shitpost

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

Nice high-effort shitpost gone there.

limited effort

Giving as little effort as possible.

This year I'm going as a sociopath to the Halloween party. It takes limited effort to achieve this.

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”
