Trying to

A grammatically incorrect form of 'try to'. While 'try and' is commonly used, it is incorrect, as it technically means: try an unspecified action, then do the other, specified action. One can either try something, do something or try to do something, but one cannot try and do something.Unlike 'try to', 'try and' is seldom inflected; whilst one may (incorrectly) use 'try and' instead of 'try to', one would very rarely use 'trying and' or 'tried and' instead of 'trying to' and 'tried to', respectively.It is important to remember that 'try' is synonymous with 'attempt'. The word 'attempt' means to make an effort to achieve something. It is very rare to here 'attempt and' as most people recognise 'attempt and' as incorrect, however, the same people often fail bear that in mind when using the word 'try'.



try it on
To engage in sexual relations with someone. Usually, romance or commitment does not enter the equation.
Example:
Yeah, your girlfriend? It's her personal goal to try it on with everyone she knows. EVERYONE. Sorry, man.


not trying
adverbial phrase. Essentially "trying not" or "trying to avoid" in standard English. The subtle difference between the slang standard English usages can be seen as follows: in standard English "not trying" simply means a failure to put forth any effort; whereas the slang meaning encompasses affirmative avoidance of responsibility, or steps taken to get out of an obligation.
Example:
Slang: Yo man now D not trying to pay me back.

Standard: D is trying to avoid paying me back.


Trying
Trying is having the intention to fail. Negative thoughts on the mind is where "trying" comes into play. Trying should never be used while achieving a goal, or something you're really determined to get. Stay focused and be mindful, and you will never use that word.
Example:
Mike: I'm trying to lose some weight.
John: Never try. Set your mind to it, and become determined, and you will lose your weight with a good mindset.
