best effort

Giving all that you can in a given situation, but always failing to meet some one else's standards

Try as I may, my best effort was not good enough for my girl friend, so she left me, stupid cunt

game effort

1) When the team/player one bet on loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress and financial destitution to the gambler. This could be due to a blowout loss or a last-second heartbreaking backdoor cover.

2) When one's favorite team/player loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress to the fan.

One may add "sport" or "kid" to the end of the phrase for more effect.

A Yankees fan watching Game Seven of the ALCS exclaims, "game effort, sport" as Johnny Damon hits a grand slam.

homeschool effort

The strong effort exerted by homeschoolers, especially their mothers, in attempt to get their children "involved" with extracurricular activities to help the homeschooler to feel like they have a social life. Some homeschoolers are oblivious to the "homeschool effort". These are the ones that most actively engage in it.

Phil's mother tries to get him involved in the local homeschool group activities, but Phil detests his mother's "homeschool effort".

Conservation of Effort

Doing the most amount of work in the least amount of time, using the least amount of effort.

maximum effort

The point in which you have been sitting on the toilet, constipated for 7 hours straight, and haven't even managed to pinch out a little tootsie roll after eating KFC fried chicken for breakfast. All the sudden, you realize it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to move on with your pathetic and ever so boring and stupid existence, you let out a fucking war cry, shouting out "MAXIMUM EFFORT" start holding your breath as hard as you can, while you release the KFC crackin into the abyss of Davy Jones' locker, followed by the guy sitting in the stall to your right shouting "SHUT THE FUCK UP I'M TRYING TO POOP HERE"

Dude, I was on the shitter all day yesterday, I had to pull a maximum effort
