Failure to make a concerted effort to keep me alive

You are REALLY struggling with that one, huh?
Hym "Failure to make a concerted effort to keep me alive. Me dying isn't going to save your. You haven't made a concerted effort to keep me alive and the bodily harm clause allows for ACCIDENTAL death (upto and including getting hit by a drunk driver). Now, it doesn't say anything about ME keep MYSELF alive. It says YOU have to make a concerted effort to keep ME alive. You motherfuckers really struggle with the YOU vs ME distinction don't you? So, killing me, letting me die, denying me care. None of that is going to stop anything. OK? You get it. MY thing IS going to work. YOUR thing is not. You don't do what I do. Me. You. Get it? OK."

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.

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”
