Um ... have you forgotten something? I have a solution, but it's lacking a definition.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

High value ?

Nope.

I didn't think about it when I set it but, the answer is a uniquely western US slang phrase.
Giddy up cowboy!

Sorry for the late response.

I can only think it contains rodeo - wild rodeo ?

Try State specific. I'm down in Georgia and never that phrase.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Oh well, maybe we will get it tomorrow when you post that!

I'll be more generic for tomorrow's, I promise!

I heard GOAT RODEO the first time a few years ago when I retired to South Dakota. Lots of the towns around here have rodeos in the summer. A GOAT RODEO is described as a fiasco of epic proportions, a failure that's gone so far off the tracks that all there is to do is sit back and watch the train wreck as it unfolds.

Over here in the UK, we call that "being in government."
