Make Fetch Happen 

When someone tries to start a cultural trend that will never catch on.

My cousin always wears purple socks on Wednesday. He hopes that eventually other people will start doing it and he will become famous for creating the trend. Whenever I see him on Wednesday I say, "Jaime, stop trying to make fetch happen."

stop trying to make fetch happen 

When a person is misreading a social situation. It is a quote from “Mean Girls” movie and essentially means give up or let it go or go away because it is a futile pursuit; you are deluded to continue as the other party does not agree.

Person 1 -did u hear from Emily?
Person 2- yeah... but I wish she would give up and stop trying to make fetch happen
