Dr T Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Ok, I'd guess we have all said both of these at various times and for different reasons but my question for all is what is typically in you mind or what you would say verbally when you attempt something two times and at your third attempt do you say, "Third time's a charm" or "three strikes and your out"?

Dravin Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Depends if the third attempt is a success or not. If it is a success then it is "third time's the charm", if it fails then it is "three strikes and you're out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd better get it this time, because there's no such thing as frice." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 As a bowler, I'm okay with three strikes--especially in a row. Now, if I could just getting a bowling score higher than my golf score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I usually say third times a charm. If it fails..I then say...it lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennarator Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Sounds to me knowbody tries more than three times. What if the third time fails and nobody tries four, becasue, well they are three tries and then they ruled it out? Could work the fourth, fifth or more...

prisonchaplain Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 You turkey. Sad, but true...again, more on the golf course than the bowling alley. I think a double-par is called a turkey, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thank Darvin. In your response you said it depends on the result BUT what is in your mind or what would be in your mind or words before the third attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Thank Darvin. In your response you said it depends on the result BUT what is in your mind or what would be in your mind or words before the third attempt?I don't have a broad context go to mental catch phrase that I'm cognizant of, it's probably some variation of, "Ugh, again."
