Prime Day

An utterly disappointing day. One which likely had a lot of hype and build up leading up to the day, but ultimately failed to deliver on its promises or live up to one's expectations.
Damn, I waited in line for hours to buy my new phone and now it turns out that the thing is totally lame, apps are lagging, and it keeps dropping calls. This has been a total prime day!

"Or I Could Be Totally Wrong About This"

miscredit

To purposely or erroneously give credit for a work or quote to a person other than the actual author, artist, or speaker.
