Tearing the ring out of it

When someone persists with an activity long after it's lost its
merit or factor of amusement for others. You know the sort of people, they
hang around long after a party has ended, use the same joke over and over again. They'll continue doing their thing no matter how
tedious it becomes for those around them.
Example:
*Aidan just wanted to give
Juan's skateboard a quick try, but he's been on it for hours now and refuses to get off*
Juan
mumbles, "Damn, this bastard is really
tearing the ring out of it"

To put the utmost amount of effort possible for a given task; to give your all. The term alludes to going further than safely possible in terms of effort. To lift a weight that is not safe to lift without causing physical damage to self. Normally used when trying to express the fact that an individual is putting in effort above and beyond that should be expected in
norma\typical situations.
A parrallel can be drawn with a weight
lifter; a weight lifter risks a
hernia\prolapse when he\she lifts
more weight than is safe to lift. The individual still puts the effort in although it may cause them harm.
Example:
I'm not going to 'pull my ring out' trying to
hit the target since the last team didn't achieve their results and they still received a bonus.
If the last team
couldn't be bothered then I'm definitely not going to 'pull my ring out'.
We're sat here 'pulling our
ring's out' while they're sat reading urbandictionary.com.
