the only thing more impressive than catching is admitting you can't yet
means Keeping several objects (or tasks) in continuous motion through the air or your schedule, tossing and catching so nothing hits the ground.
from From the verb 'juggle,' which traces back through Old French 'jogler' to Latin 'ioculari,' meaning 'to jest' or 'to joke' (from 'iocus,' a joke). The earliest jugglers weren't just ball-tossers but all-purpose entertainers — joculatores who clowned, sang, and conjured. The sense narrowed over the centuries to the specific knack of keeping objects airborne, and the word still carries a faint whiff of the trickster.
