If you're trying to do something, and twice it didn't work, you say, "Third time's the charm". This is a hopeful saying -- "it will work the third time!"
I'm trying to get something organised with a group of people and last week I said "third time's the charm". But it's still not working. And we're at five times now. So I offer this for those of us that need something to say when it gets to four times or more:
First time’s the promise
Second time’s a shrug
Third time’s the charm
Fourth time’s a boon
Fifth time’s a broken heart
Sixth time is doom.
A game variant of the commonly refereed to the beergame 3x the charm which is often difficult and time consuming. 2x the charm is more common for a winner to win with more ease. The actual game is when you line up two paddles on opposite sides of a ping pong table and then have a cup with 1/3 of a beer can in there. Each player receives two ping pong balls and an opportunity to throw them at the other person's paddle. If hitting the opponent's paddle twice the player who has been hit must drink their cup and then refill again. This cycle continues until someone finishes their beer; thus, making them the loser. Rebuttals (a term often used in Ruit) are allowed.
This game was originated in Barrington, IL by two men who did not have cups to play Ruit ( a variant of Beer Pong) and came up with a concept similar. They were the first to play.
Ah man! We have no cups for ruit, let's play 2x the charm!
My friend and I played 2x the charm last night for 2 hours and got prettydrunk.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
