close but no cigar

• ingiliz ingilizcesi'nde de kullanilir. eski zamanlarda sagdaki kolu cevirerek oynanan kumar makinalarinda verilen odul puro oldugu icin boyle bir deyim dogmu$tur.
• ingilizce, başarılı bir sonuca ulaşamamak ve gösterdiği çabanın karşılığını alamamak anlamına gelen deyim.
• weird al yankovic'in straight outta lynwood albümünden mükemmel bir parça. cake tarzında yazılmıştır. sözleri de vereyim:
  
  jillian was her name
  she was sweeter than aspartame
  her kisses reconfigured my dna
  and after that i never was the same
  
  and i loved her even more
  than marlon brando loved souffle
  she was gorgeous, she was charming
  yeah, she was perfect in every way
  
  except she was always using the word 'infer'
  when she obviously meant 'imply'
  and i know some guys would put up with that kind of thing
  but frankly, i can't imagine why
  
  and i told her, i said
  hey! are we playing horseshoes, honey?
  no, i don't think we are
  you're close (close)
  but no cigar
  
  then i met sweet young janet
  prettiest thing on the planet
  had a body hotter than a habanjero
  she had lips like a ripe pomegranate
  
  and i was crazy like manson about her
  she got me all choked up like momma cass
  she had a smile so incredibly radiant
  you had to watch it through a piece of smoked glass
  
  i thought after all these years of searching around
  i'd found my soul mate finally
  but one day i found out she actually owned a copy
  of joe dirt on dvd
  
  oh, no, i said
  hey! are we lobbing hand grenades, kiddo?
  no i don't think we are
  you're close (close)
  oh, so very close (close)
  yeah, baby, you're close (close)
  so close
  but no cigar
  
  oh, yeah
  oh, no
  oh, yeah
  oh, no
  h, yeah
  oh, no
  all right
  
  julie played water polo
  she wore a ribbon on her left manolo
  she had me sweating like nixon every time she was near
  my heart was beating like a buddy rich solo
  
  and she was everything i've dreamed of
  she moved right up to number one on my list
  and did i mention she's a world famous billionare
  bikini supermodel astrophysicist
  
  yeah, she was so pretty she made charlize theron
  look like a big fat slobbering pig
  the only caveat is one of her earlobes
  was just a little tiny bit too big
  
  i said
  hey! are we doing government work here
  no i don't think we are
  you're close (close)
  so very, very close (close)
  aw, baby, you're close (close)
  so close
  but no cigar
  
  missed it by that much (no cigar)
  ah, yeah! ah, right (no cigar)
  really, really, really close (no cigar)
  but no cigar
  
  nefis yaa...
• "yaklaştın ama tutturamadın" olarak da çevrilebilir kullanıldığı yere göre
• bunu kullananın, istenilen neticeye ulaşıldığı zaman da have a cigar demesi gerekli.
• oynadığım bir mobil battle royal oyununda ölünce çıkan yazı tabi oyunu türkiyedede pazarlamak için ucuza kaçıp google çeviriden çevirmişlerdi çıkan sonuç su idi "kapat fakat sigara yok"
  
  aslında anlamı anladığım kadarıyla üzülcekbir durum yok devam et tarzı bişeydi
