As a last ditch effort to become the cool kid and bring down all the jocks that shoved him in his locker and and threw him into piles of horse manure, Gerry turned to UrbanDictionary.com, where he could freely post definitions like "Gerry is da man" and "Joe Sparks is a poop-eating twatfaced loser".

noun, potentially a verb last bich ef-fert: That person I met online, hung out with a few times and drops off the face of the Earth. All of a sudden they resurface after a few weeks with an "explanation". Usually with the "I wasn't ready" excuse.
Me:"You know that guy I slept with a few weeks ago and really liked but he decided to hit it and quit it".
Friend: " Yeah"
Me: "Well I finally heard from him yesterday-he said 'I am not really good at this and just not ready for it. It's not fair and I'm sorry'."
Friend: "What the hell does that mean? Why did he even contact you again after you stopped talking to him"
Me: "Not sure, but it was probably just a 'last bitch effort' because there were no other takers either".
Friend: " Yeah"

A wonderful ratio that shows how hard you must try in high school in order to virtually keep the same grade, as you would normally. This is perfect to lazy people, as colleges will see a 98 and 93% as the same: an A. If someone must try their ass off to hold a 98 percent, and let's say they put in a 10/10 effort. The grade to effort ratio is 9.8. However, if the same kid does a half ass job and still gets a 93%, lower but still an A, their grade to effort ratio will be rougly 93/5 = 18.6, much higher.
The same holds true for GPA. Let's say someone has a 3.9 and tries to the maximum (10/10), the grade to effort ratio will be 3.9
Let's say their friend has a 3.7 and they didn't do shit all year (6/10), the grade to effort ratio is 6.2
The thing is, it is exponentially harder to achieve just a few percent higher, yet if you suddenly stop trying hard, your grade will barely drop. I don't recommend this if you're teetering between a B+ and an A- for example, but if you have an 86, and try your ass off, you could do half ass work and still get an 84, the same result.
This does not work for everyone but many people can relate to how they have to bust a nut just to increase their grade by 1 percent, and how they can maintain their current grade with half the effort.

Joey and Brandon, two high school kids of similar academic aptitudes...
Brandon - "Yo Joe, whats ur GPA, I have a 3.68 and i'm busting my ass to do it"
Joe - "Ha, you try-hard, I have a 3.65 and i'm just chilling in all my classes"
Brandon- "Well i'm still doing better"
Joe - "But is it worth staying up all night studying, missing practice, and having no friends? Just for an extra 0.03 percent?
Brandon - "Yeah I guess dude, no matter how hard I try, I can't break the 3.7 barrier;I figure if I just jack off the rest of the year, I"ll basically get the same grade"
Joe - "Exactly, increase your Grade-to-Effort Ratio, its not worth the extra 0.03 points to not have a life."

When an individual knows that a certain task is, by all practical reasoning, impossible to complete, still makes a meagre attempt to complete said task out of pity or moral obligation.
Kory agrees to go to prom with Joanie to save her from going with a creepy kid named Stuart. Later that night, Joanie wants to put out but Kory knows he can't quite get it up. Still, he resigns to giving it the old Joanie effort.

Award given to the person who is not really distinguished in any particular area. Synonymous with the "Good Sportsmanship Award," the "Keep up the Good Work Award," and the "Attitude Award." Used as a self esteem booster.
While little Jacquelyn received two first place ribbons in the 100-meter-dash and the swimming race, young Becky donned a "Good Effort" ribbon and a "Best Bubble Blower" ribbon. (NOTE: I, the writer of this definition, actually received a bubble-blowing ribbon. Best in my whole camp.)
