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”

clabberative effort

Refers to where two or more individuals work together to properly ferment milk into a thickened state in preparation to creating yummy "curds 'n' whey"-type dairy-products like yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc.
I love to hang out with my Amish neighbors on Thursdays when they gather in one of their kitchens to make their creamy-milk delicacies to sell at our town's Saturday farmer's-market --- what a delightful clabberative effort it is!

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.
