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".

Phone Grenade

the act of taking your friends phone, dialing their ex-girlfriend/boyfriend's number, then tossing it to them as it rings. Usually results in the "victim" of the grenade having a very awkward, yet hilarious exchange with their ex.

Me: Hey Nick! Catch!'
Nick: DAMNIT!...I mean...um hey Julie
Julie: Why the hell are you calling me?
Nick: Sorry I got phone grenaded.

Grenade

A weapon of mass libido destruction in social terms. Still a wepski worthy of your respect but will probably mean your ultimate sex drive demise if you are not an army veteran who can inspire respect from the most ridiculously violent and aggressive and adversarial attacks that leaves you hacked and bugged like you watch porn but you don’t.
