gimmicky 

'Gimmicky' is used to describe something that attracts the attention from mainstream media, but when explored in-depth it turns out to be rather underwhelming and overhyped.
An item or product is said to be 'gimmicky' if it lacks innovation or any outstanding traits.

Todd: "Hey man, have you seen the new game that came out recently?"

Jesse: "What game..? Oh, *that* game. Meh, it looks kinda gimmicky."

Gimli glider 

1. Refers to Air Canada Boeing 767 C-GAUN (c/n 22520), which on July 23, 1983 ran out of fuel over Northern Ontario, and glided to a landing at an abandoned airfield in Gimli, Manitoba. At the time, this was the first ever dead-stick landing of a jet airliner. The aircraft was subsequently recovered from Gimli and flew for Air Canada for another 25 years before being finally retired in January 2008.

2. Subsequently, the term 'Gimli glider' has become Canadian slang for a particularly glaring screw-up.

1. Hopefully, the Gimli glider will end up in a museum.

2. You just pulled a real Gimli Glider back there.

Gimmie Dats 

gimmie dats - "A generation of freeloading Americans with an inherent sense of entitlement with respect to government assistance programs: SSI, WIC, EBT, SNAP, Welfare, Unemployment, Financial Aid, Gas Cards, etc... The gimmie dats are notorious breeders and usually spawn numerous children with multiple partners throughout their lifetime; often children born to a gimmie dat, themselves become gimmiedats."

Shelly is a gimmie dats because she believes she is entitled to SSI benifits because of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
