return on effort employed

The KPi that defined whether or not a task or energy applied to it is really worth the bother.

Rebecca: “oh lord! There’s a Lion heading towards us”
Leon: “oh cripes, we should LITERALLY RUN AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE , in order to make sure we are in front of all these other Safari tourists”
Rebecca: “er, no. It’s hot. I don’t need to be the fastest. I just need to be faster than 1 or 2 of them.
And as most of them ate lunch and I only had a date; I fancy my chances”
Leon: “oh gosh; you’re right as usual Honey - there was me always wanting to be the best at everything I do (inc. running from Lions) but actually it’s so hot, the “return on effort employed” or ROEE just isn’t there”
Rebecca: “thank the lord; finally you get it (see also 20:80).
Leon: “yes - I coined that one too”

last stitch effort

Your final attempt to bring something to completion. Usually giving all you time and effort into that last attempt. Similar to: “the last straw” “the last ditch effort.”

That was my last stitch effort to get into college

Noble effort

Anything heroic that Joe Leal is incapable of doing.

Johnny: Man, Joe shit his pants before he even took the field

Will: Yeah what a real noble effort.

Jesse: Nah, whatever Joe does is anything but a noble effort

Joe’s parents: Told you!
