A merging of two popular phrases, each meant to reflect attempting something very difficult: “like nailing jello to a tree” and “like herding cats”. This version simply implies, humorously and a bit gruesomely, that one is, in fact, attempting the impossible.
John’s attempt to get this three kids to bed after they each ate a bag of Halloween candy is like trying to nail jello to a cat.

Get the like trying to nail jello to a cat mug.Hym "No. Stop trying to make me life a finger, Jordan. I don't need to be taught a lesson about doing things myself. You want to accuse me of trying to get people to murder for me and no one can see any of that if I don't have a secondary audience that has access to both the posts that get rejected at insemination AND my screen. Which is actually the case. So WHOSE FAULT IS IT REALLY that I have a cult following? If you're not surveilling me for the purpose of doing what you are doing now, how does anyone see the things that Urban Dictionary would OBVIOUSLY reject immediately? EVEN BEFORE the vote section went down, these would not have even made it to the vote section. And IF THEY DID... Why would you not just do the fucking thing, Jordan? Being an obstinate and uppity aristocrat. That's why. If there is a greater good, you were not aiming at it there. Either that or you missed. Even if somone else took my place, why would they not tell me that people were looking for me if the gains weren't immediate for them? And now you are trying to raffle off my identity. It's just fucking stupid. I don't care that me not having to try make you all look like you suck. YOU DO SUCK. You should have to look that way INSTEAD OF trying to make it look like I... Suck. Which I don't."

Get the Stop trying to make me life a finger, Jordan mug.Something an idiot uses to comeback with when they can’t think of anything, comes from the origin phrase ‘don’t try and be clever’

Get the don’t try buzz mug.I've literally written the discourse you're too fucking stupid to keep up with you fucking retard. You're taking your ques about what reality if FROM THEM and they're taking them FROM ME. On several occasions a PhD has stood on stage a read speeches pilfered from Urban Dictionary. Repurposed and redirected at his political opponents but written by me none the less.
A fucking retard "He's trying to interject himself into the discourse!"
Hym "I AM THE- You know what? Too easy. I'm not going to go there. You know, even with the diminished efficacy of being watered down, it's still pretty effective. The rhetoric I mean. Painful to watch sometimes though. It's like watching people carve features into the statue of David."

Get the trying to get to Buffalo mug.No I was trying to prevent it but you stupid fucks 'Have A right not to be coerced into making the fucking YouTube video I wanted' don't you motherfucker? 'You can't fucking compel me to speak thus. Meh!'
Hym "And you clearly want to say 'We don't both need to do it.' And there is a lot of 2 foot tall shit rolling around that we don't need either. I'm doing what I'm doing. What I'm trying to do isn't the fucking point here jackass. You likely already know what I want but I don't want to give you too much credit. I'm just doing bigotry. I've decided bigotry so I'm doing that now. It doesn't matter what trying to do. I'll spell it out really slow for you. If school shooting A... Was caused by THIS SPECIFIC THING... Then YOU... Could have STOPPED THAT ONE... Without banning the guns or changing the safety rules... You might not have been able to stop PREVIOUS ones because you didn't know that this was the cause of that... But if you would have identified the cause IN THE WAY THAT I DID.. I did that... There probably would have been fewer OF THEM... AND... THERE ARE THAT NOW, FUCK-FACE! You're welcome! There are less of them now. That shit wasn't YOU. I didn't HAVE to try. I DID it. You don't like how I did it but it's done. You probably could have sucked less and been less obtuse one YOUR end of it motherfucker but it is clear that you missed the point and thought it and you were something it wasn't and you aren't."
