third time's the charm 

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.
Ha, foiled again! But third time's the charm.

fifth times the charm

A saying for when you fail the first four times, you say β€œfifth times the charm” to make you feel more confident about the fifth time. This is not BS
Oh man we lost that Fortnite game but you know what they say, β€œFifth times the charm”

2x the Charm 

A game variant of the commonly refereed to the beer game 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 pretty drunk.

third times the charm

Something you should never say to Germany.
Seriously, dont tell him that third times the charm.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
