| Cleveland hustle |

1) An unenthusiastically executed and drawn-out attempt, emphasized by lack of effort, coordination, and experience.

- More time and effort is spent complaining about how much time and effort went into the hustle than actual time and effort spent on hustling.

- Typical Cleveland hustler is obese, heavily tattooed, and has a shaved pompadour hair cut with a beard (applies to both Cleveland men and women).

2) A false attempt where a person lies about how hard they worked and complains about their false effort.
“He gave it a Cleveland hustle, and obviously fell far short of his goal. But he made sure to tell everyone how hard he tried and how much effort he put in, despite sitting on the couch eating polish boys all day.”
