A bridge too far
Taking on more than you can likely achieve, particularly too many tasks. While it can imply a long-shot, it connotes more an idea of striving to do more than can be achieved, rather than striving to do a thing that is unlikely to be successful. The previous definition by "A solid cube of tungsten" had a good historical reference, but the particular example was not quite on point: "The story behind it is that during WWII in 1944, the Allies came up with a plan (Operation Market Garden) to use paratroopers to secure three bridges over three key rivers behind enemy lines in The Netherlands. British forces would then rush forward across all three bridges to relieve the paratroopers, and later push into Germany itself. It was an extremely ambitious plan. A British commander is alleged to have said “I think we may be going a bridge too far”, and he was right. The American airborne divisions were able to capture the first two bridges, and were relieved. But the British and Polish paratroopers at the third and final bridge at Arnhem were basically wiped out before tanks of the Irish Guards could punch through to reach them. Market Garden was an operational failure."
The Urban Dictionary Mug
This was purchased as a gift , and it describes the recipient perfectly . It arrived sooner than expected, and I am very impressed with the quality .
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
My mug came in broken but Urban Dictionary replaced it at no extra charge!
Good quality, packaging shipped well, arrived quickly.
this is the best for coffee and hot coco especially if you make the hot coco in it then pour it on your significant other and do body shots 😋🥱
I was really excited to receive this mug and when it did come it was perfect quality. My only complaint is that the color I choose was green teal but it came in yellow.
I can pass away peacefully. This mug is everything I’ve ever needed and more. Fat thank you, Urban Dictionary. <3
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
