verb
when you are woefully ill-equipped for the task you are attempting, through no fault of your own, simply trying to work with what you’re given despite inadequate tools and uncooperative circumstances, and keep trying until it’s just plain silly. as in trying to cut a rather fibrous mango with a plastic knife… for some reason… and the serated edge doing more to comb the strands of mango like hair and mash it to juice than actually cut it into chunks.
