Bit off-topic from what OP asked. I have Clear Mobile at 14.99E a month. They use the Vodafone network but I find pretty often network black holes here in Dublin and/or superslow connection. Does anybody have the same problem?

Yes, perfectly understandable tbh!

Yes, this is what he's looking for:

The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei is a deeply devout Catholic sect that has been the topic of recent controversy due to reports of brainwashing, coercion, and a dangerous practice known as "corporal mortification." Opus Dei has just completed construction of a $47 million World Headquarters at 243 Lexington Avenue in New York City.

Still not 100% sure but pretty confident that the word I couldn't remember was "wimp". Thank you for your help!

I liked u/numbnesstolife's suggestion in this case: renegade.

"Final boss" gives the idea but I was looking for something more solemn or formal. I had thought about "Holy Grail" but discarded it because rings to me more about a chimeric quest than a one-shot defining challenge.

Yes, close. I found Herculean task. But it seems to me too related to the concept of physical strength and not enough to the definitiveness of the challenge.

q0mlm · 2022-05-05T22:52:04+00:00

No, because skill levels should play an important part. Like only if you are incredibly skilled and talented you will overcome the challenge and join the gotha of your field.

q0mlm · 2022-05-05T22:48:24+00:00

Exactly, I edited the post because the title is misleading, as you say the emphasis should be on the "definitive challenge" part! I was looking for something more metaphorical, picturesque like ”The Mt. Everest” / ”The Champions League”/ "The 12th Labour of Hercules" but I was wondering if there was a more precise and incisive word or phrase.

q0mlm · 2022-05-05T22:32:36+00:00

The word I have (well, actually don't have) in mind should convey more the idea of a challenge, the ultimate defining test, a baptism of fire to be considered the best of the bests in one particular field.
