best effort

Giving all that you can in a given situation, but always failing to meet some one else's standards

Try as I may, my best effort was not good enough for my girl friend, so she left me, stupid cunt

game effort

1) When the team/player one bet on loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress and financial destitution to the gambler. This could be due to a blowout loss or a last-second heartbreaking backdoor cover.

2) When one's favorite team/player loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress to the fan.

One may add "sport" or "kid" to the end of the phrase for more effect.

A Yankees fan watching Game Seven of the ALCS exclaims, "game effort, sport" as Johnny Damon hits a grand slam.

effort

It is considered an effort when:
1.Something is very poor/rubbish/daft.
2.Someone is being foolish (i.e. bipping someone).

Person 1 - "Pick that up"
Person 2 - "You're a proper effort you!"

homeschool effort

The strong effort exerted by homeschoolers, especially their mothers, in attempt to get their children "involved" with extracurricular activities to help the homeschooler to feel like they have a social life. Some homeschoolers are oblivious to the "homeschool effort". These are the ones that most actively engage in it.

Phil's mother tries to get him involved in the local homeschool group activities, but Phil detests his mother's "homeschool effort".

enfartment

enfartment: this occurs when one is in the shower and surprise farts. within seconds, the steam arises and the stench engulfs the nostrils, making it difficult to escape.

miley cyrus (shaving her legs): uh oh. (a squeezed sound erupts) i'm so SORRY, dad!
billy ray cyrus (shampooing his hair w/ squinted eyes): oh, no! enfartment! you're sleeping alone tonight!
