Get the TryHarding mug.
1. A face-saving insult used by someone who is feeling inadequate. Basically accuses anyone who is better than them at anything of putting in effort. Doubles as an excuse for sucking by implying lack of effort on the speaker's part.

2. An insult blatantly misused by 13-year-old kiddies in online gaming who, ironically, try very hard to win themselves and take it too seriously when they lose.

3. Someone who tries too hard to fit in. Easy to spot online because of their constant use of trendy internet slang such as "fail", "cool story bro", and "tryhard".

4. An Urban Dictionary writer that submits overly-long definitions for pointless phrases trying to get recogniton.
1. Guy mopping the bathroom at Subway: "All those people from my high school that got into Princeton and MIT, they're just a bunch of fucking tryhards."

2. Kid that just got utterly humiliated in Starcraft 2: "w/e u fuckin tryhard hacker n00bz lol i pwn u next time k 1v1 me NOW!!!11"

3. That one douchebag that always brags about his 2500 Facebook friends: "o hai guys dat 1 nig hes a fuckin tryhard im all like yea i get blazed all the time and shit and i fuck bitches and got all these friends, then hes like dude i dont fucking care stop sending requests to me i dont know you, and i was all like o rly, cool story bro. yeah i fuckin pwned that fail loser tryhard. lol, shit man, im so cool. srsly, pay attention to me plz! guys? anyone?!"

4. See above.

An individual that tries. Hard.

This is not in reference to those that are scholastically ambitious, or put effort into sports. No, no. This is a strong, biting description of someone that obviously thinks a whole lot about their public image - fashion, vernacular, taste, etc. Such a person tends to fit very neatly into a particular pigeon hole - typically, a subculture. A tryhard is pathetically hyper-aware and irredeemably lame in their awareness and internalizing of all things external and obvious.
Pretty much the only phrase used is uttered snidely, under the breath to one's cohorts: "What a tryhard" or, alternately, "whatta tryhard". In particularly outstanding cases, "oh my God, whatta tryhard."

1: Someone trying hard to fit in with their crushes friends to get to their crush, only to dump all of his/her friends after achieving so.

2: A person who is mad for having a higher death ratio on their kdr and decides to throw all their anger towards some innocent kids trying to have fun.

3: A person who tries hard to be popular and to be known by using his or her friends by putting them through the extreme. And like 1, dumps them after achieving so.
1 Tryhard: Just because I talk to her friends, does not make me a tryhard!
Suspicious: Yeah, and is it such a coincidence you call out to your "friends" when she talks to them?
Tryhard: Shut up, you don't know anything! You just like to assume shit!
Suspicious: Oooh, looks like we have a salted ulcer!

2 Tryhard: HEY, WHAT THE FUCK!? I JUST FUCKING DIED.

Kid: Hahahahaha, I died again. :)
Tryhard: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY, MAN?

Kid: What? I wasn't talking to you!
Tryhard: THEN WHY DID YOU SAY MY NAME!? ALSO, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU AND YOUR NONSENSICAL BEHAVIOUR, I WOULDN'T HAVE DIED YA IDIOT.
Kid: Shut up, don't be so annoyed just because you died again.
*Tryhard left the game* (reason, to track down the kid and kill him)
Kid: Oh shit. MOMMY!

3: Tryhard: HEY GUYS, SORRY, BUT I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS TO HANG OUT YOU WITH.
Kid number 1: I knew Sam was a tryhard, not only that, but he is as dumb as a rock, too.
Kid number 2: At least we have each other, right?
Kid number 3: Ooh Lala! Kids in love?
Kid numbers 1 and 2: OH SHUT UP.
