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.

A comment mainly teenagers have been posting under predominately Instagram advertisement’s comments.
These kids are on the band wagon on commenting ‘Nice try Diddy’ or ‘Nice try super Diddy’ on loads of Instagram advertisements, and most of them don’t really know the meaning themselves.
It comes from P.Diddy who we all know, or at least what happened to him and his crimes, he got caught out for doing illicit activities on people . He was know for involving himself in loads of companies within the entertainment industry, and more.
The teens who are commenting ‘Nice try Diddy’ are jokingly suggesting that P.Diddy had some involvement within the company that is advertising on Instagram. Sort of ‘Nice try, but you didn’t get me’ relating to what he done in his illicit activities to people.
It’s an underlying mini trend that has stuck around longer than most other ones, but at some point or another it will fade out, however since the advertisements can be shown to users even when the post was created a long while ago, the comments are still there showing, which may cause more people to carry on.

When someone tries doing something Bold. Like insulting a person of authority, or asking someone out. And using brutal honesty shamelessly.
"Hey did you see Kim?"
"No. She didn't come to school after Ronnie rejected her yesterday."
"Well it was a Bold Try
