Try Hard

One who has to compensate for their lack of skill by subjecting themselves to tremendous amounts of effort, especially in the areas of academics and athletics. Most "try hards" often fail in their attempts at success and therefore exists in a constant state of self-apathy and extreme stress. It should be noted that "trying hard" at something is not at all dishonorable. Therefore, one should note the distinction between "trying hard" and a "try hard".

Try Hard: How long did you study for that test?
Intelligent Student: Just a moderate amount of time, an hour or so, but I got a A-, so I'm satisfied.

Try Hard: What!? I studied for four hours and made a C+!

try-hard

A person who wants to be something they're not naturally, or not talented at. The most common cases are the guy who does sports he sucks at to gain approval from the jocks, the girl who acts like a drama queen to be interesting when it's not her, the gamer who isn't good at the game but won't learn nor give in, and anyone who tries to act cool and into trends when they're the exact opposite.

Mody: That guy's a try-hard, he wants to be cool but all he actually cares about getting diplomas and good grades.
