attempt it and succeed

The new, corrected, optimistic, and success inducing version of the idiom "trial and error."

Some of the few individuals who stop to analyze language and think about what humans are really doing, really not doing, and perhaps should be doing, realized that the idiom trial and error induces failure, and they have corrected it to "attempt it and succeed."

Desperado Attempt

A desperado attempt is where you would do almost anything to win. Normally used for gaming puposes. It's like breaking the fourth wall (by cheating) in order to win.
Say you are VS your friend in a fighting game. The desperado attempt would be if you would slam your shoulder into your friend so they would stop attacking you, and you kill them or even the odds for the win.

Kyle: Time for my Desperado Attempt!

Matt: Asshole!
Kyle: I finish the lap first, bitch!

suicide attempt drop

To perform a Suicide Attempt Drop, you must be playing Flappy Bird. You fall down as close to the bottom of the screen, and then recover. Then you must brag to your friends, even though they probably wouldn't believe you.

"Hey guys! I just did a Suicide Attempt Drop in Flappy Bird and survived for another 20 pipes!"
"The Suicide Attempt Drop is only a myth, Freddy."

Awkward Attempt at Sexy Times

Awkward Attempt at Sexy Times (AAST) is when your sexual overtures are rejected due to inappropriateness of situation or setting. The key difference between AAST and being creepy is that in this case the object of your affections does not feel threatened or in any way afraid of you. They just think you're pathetic.

You and your new girlfriend stopping by at your ex*'s house unannounced to ask if she'd like to go get a drink with you all. This is an Awkward Attempt at Sexy Times.

*Bad break-up and someone you're not friends with now.
