An expression used when someone fails to
execute a task that should
be well within their skill level. Typically heard from parents at
sporting events.
Example:
Nice try! After a
U15 soccer player fails to score a goal from close range or an unguarded (open) net.
Or When a High School softball/baseball player allows
a fly ball to fall (or bounce) out of their glove.
Or When an uncovered receiver drops a well thrown ball in the end zone.

When you are still
unimpressed with someone’s best try, despite the fact that they did their best, but acknowledging that they did put their heart to it.
The expression is believed to have originated from an Italian immigrant in
Malta in the early
21st century.
