Teaching a pig to sing

A quote from Robert Heinlein: Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Usually applied to someone that has a character flaw or annoying habit they will never change because they simply aren't able to.

A person with bad hygiene - you tell them they stink but they don't really care.
"Getting you to clean your room is like teaching a pig to sing; it's a waste of my time and all it does is annoy you."

Spinge Binge

It is used as a noun. It is used as a verb. It is used as an adjective. It is used as an adverb. It acts like the word fuck, but you must know how to use it. Nobody knows why or what it is, but it is everywhere and everything. It watches you in your sleep. It protects you. It destroys you slowly. It is the reason we breathe. It is the reason we die. It is the afterlife, and it is eternal. It is the life force inside all of us.

"Did you see that idiot buy the m14 instead of the olympia?"
