I'd be like, "Um...I'm not trying to do anything...I am doing something." It was like they used "trying" to mean what you were definitely doing. Took me a while to figure that one out.
One of the girls in my World History class always says "I'm not tryin' to be here" and it confused me for the longest time, until I finally realized she meant "I can't be here today." (as in, in class) I always thought to myself "You're here - you're not trying very hard"
