Teacher Re: help It has many meanings. A couple are: You are trying too hard (if you want something and do more than is acceptable to get it)...you are shoving something too much (If you are behind a wagon, for example, and are applying physical force to move it)

Tom (laughs and says to Joe): You are a really short dude.
Joe (laughs): Yeah, I am.
Tom (still laughing): And you have a horrible haircut.
Joe (still smiling): Yeah, I do.
Tom (still laughing): And your ears are too big.
Joe (not smiling very much): Your ears are pretty big, too, dude.
Tom (still laughing): And, let's face it, you're ugly! No girl would ever want to marry you!
Joe (not smiling): Hey, dude. You're going too far! Shut up, or I'm going to beat you up.
Tom (not smiling): OK! OK! I was just kidding. I apologize. I should have stopped
talking after I made that comment about your haircut.
