Don't Try Me. Try Jesus

A phrase, believed to have originated from the urban innards of society, that is uttered as a reminder to the offender that they will get read for filth or experience total annihilation when they try you. A stark reminder that you're better off trying Jesus, "but don't try my patience!"

Offender: "damn. You's a straight bitch! How you gonna leave an empty ass box of frosted flakes in the cabinet"

Me: "no job having ass complaining about not having any cereal! Get your broke ass up and go get a job so you can buy your punk ass cereal! Don't try me. Try Jesus!"

Anything's a dildo if you try hard enough

Meaning if you really really really want, you could shove anything up your rectum or vagina. If you're horny enough, you can (and will) use anything as a masturbatory tool.

You were masturbating with a pizza? How is that even possible???

old college try

A wild and desperate attempt to make a play. Sometimes the term carries a hint of showboating.

Babe Ruth (_Babe Ruth's Own Book of Baseball_, 1928) defined "giving it the old college try" as "playing to the grandstand or making strenuous effort to field a ball that obviously cannot be handled."

The term was quickly applied to any effort with limited chances of success.

From _The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary_ (1999) by Paul Dickson.
http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/13/messages/1162.html

In a column that appeared in the _Columbus_ (Ohio) _Citizen_ (Nov. 26, 1927) and was quoted in _American Speech_ (Apr. 1930), Billy Evans wrote that "I gave it the old college try" is a term "often used in big league baseball, when some player keeps on going after a fly ball, usually in foul territory, with the odds about ten to one he would never reach it. Teammates of such a player often beat him to it by shouting in unison with the thought of humor uppermost: 'Well, kid, you certainly gave it the old college try,' as he falls short of making the catch. When some player does something that a professional player might not ordinarily attempt, such as colliding with a fielder who had the ball ready to touch him out, in the hope that he might make him drop the ball, regardless of the danger he was courting, someone is sure to say, often ironically, if the speaker happens to be one of the players in the field: 'That's the old college spirit.'"
