Try hard : a term used in the UK ( south west )do describe some one that try's hard to win or succeed. This is framed as an insult on the grounds that in the UK it is considered cool/ good/ to be a failure. For context if one tries to do well in their exams at school and succeeds then moves on to have a good job and a nice house, people look down on them and insult them for trying hard at life.
"Keener" is also a common phrase used to describe a similar situation.

Have grown up and spent the majority of my life in Bristol, when I was at school nobody ever used the term try hard. We had townies, keeners and jitters. [spoiler]-blam!- I'm getting old[/spoiler]

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 -blam!-ing tryhards." 2. Kid that just got utterly humiliated in Starcraft 2: "w/e u -blam!-in 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 -blam!-in tryhard im all like yea i get blazed all the time and shit and i -blam!- bitches and got all these friends, then hes like dude i dont -blam!-ing care stop sending requests to me i dont know you, and i was all like o rly, cool story bro. yeah i -blam!-in pwned that fail loser tryhard. lol, shit man, im so cool. srsly, pay attention to me plz! guys? anyone?!"

I live in the uk, only time ive ever heard it used was by americans on call of duty.

Actually it's a term used where if people are playing a game for fun and there is someone who's taking it seriously and has to win no matter what, that's a try hard.

Please don't pin this on the Brits I've never been called a try hard by a Brit but I have by some Americans.

Rubbish

I'm British and I've never known anyone to look at failures as cool

Iv heard the term try hard when I played competitive cod. Which I can say everyone is a try hard myself included. I have 50mb internet Astros a40 (2013) scuff controller and a benq xl24 just to have a tiny edge on my competitors I'm a true try hard when I played cod. Normally people who say "your a try hard" when they are pissed because they've tried there best and got out matched. If you watch competitive cod you will see true try hard at work.

Edited by Andreas17Chief: 5/30/2015 7:18:59 AMI consider myself lazy, but that kind of attitude is just stupid. In Germany we have a similar term, but it is used as a joke more often than meant true. My guess is it's like using "gay" as an insult even though it isn't.
