horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear war

Even though you missed it by a tiny amount, you still didn't get there.

A time when there is no positive effect, or will be no positive effects, because of your actions".

With horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear war, you can miss your target, or goal, but still have some positive effect.

Luke : "Are you ready to go? We have to get to the airport, NOW!"
Chris :"I'm close"
Luke : "Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear war".

Zach : "I was so close to getting that job"
Matt : "Yeah, but close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear war".

Ariana Grenade

Ariana Grenade is a meme, mostly on TikTok because of it's humorous mispronunciation. The original video started in 2013 from an interview with "Sophie Grace" and "Rosie" interviewing the cast of the Nickelodeon series Sam & Cat. Sophie first interviews Ariana Grande but accidentally mispronounces her last name as "Grenade". This spawned a meme on TikTok around 2022-2023 where whenever she says "grenade", the videos cut to a photo of Ariana's face photoshopped onto an actual grenade. Some videos would even have her song, "Just Keep Breathin" in the background.

"And we're interviewing Nickelodeon stars, Ariana Grenade, and Jennette McCurdy."
