Try-hard Alpha wannabe

An unconfident male who wants to be seen to be an Alpha male but lacks the qualities of a true Alpha. They act out traits they believe an alpha would do, but lack insight, for instance an Alpha would never call themselves one or behave in the way a wannabe alpha would. They are Toxic males that are lacking in any class. Real Alphas are usually successful and have high paying jobs, natural leaders and command respect, but have personal insight. The biggest difference is a man with genuine alpha traits respects other people's personal boundaries. A rum wannabe doesn't know where they end and the other person begins. Wannabes are usually low down in the working class demographic and think being a Man is about simply competing with other males for societal hierarchy which results in annoying the sh*t out of their peers. Alphas can be likeable, wannabes are never liked by anybody and have few if any real friends. Wannabes are tormented souls who need pity not respect.

"Tim is such a Try-hard alpha wannabe, he's throwing his toys out because I could bench press more than him, now he's not speaking to me"

like trying to nail jello to a cat

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.

The Roman Try

Having absolutely zero knowledge on a topic before the attempt, and stumbling your way through the most chaotic, mentally ill and pyrrhic victory you’ve ever achieved. Subsequently learning almost nothing until halfway through another attempt.

Guy 1: Are you trying to open that?
Guy 2, clearly pushing a pull door: Like scipio and his forefathers, I learn by doing. Observe the Roman try.
Guy 2 pulls the door back only to slam it forwards, breaking the glass and stepping through*
