gadgetbahn

A transportation concept or implementation that is touted as futuristic or innovative, but in execution turns out to be more expensive and less feasible than traditional means, outweighing their usefulness. Examples include but are not limited to Monorails (most often cited example) Personal Rapid Transit, Maglev, etc, versus traditional means generally referring to rail, subway, and road infrastructure

The term generally carries a negative connotation, in that the solutions may be seen as an expensive 'white elephant' in the truest sense: more difficult and more expensive to maintain and add to without any perceived benefit other than looking cool

Walt Disney World can't afford to expand their monorail, it costs a million dollars a mile for new track, and with the money it would take to expand that gadgetbahn they could buy a whole fleet of buses that fit their existing needs

go go gadget

Go Go Gadget - from the cartoon Inspector Gadget, a cartoon detective who had a million items hidden up his sleeve which didn't always work properly, but often saved the day. He had anything for any situation.

1. Preceeds any noun that can perform an action, usually saving the day when it does. I.E. Go Go Gadget Can Opener - what you say before opening a can of tunafish for someone. Or: Go Go Gadget Shower - what you say before spraying someone with a garden hose.
2. Also you can say it to make fun of someone who makes it a point to always be the "handy" one in the group - carries a pocketknife for example - and offers help as if they have been hoping to all day.

1. "Aww, this beer isn't a twistoff!"
"Go Go Gadget bottle opener!" (procures opener from pocket)
(or) "Go Go Gadget tabletop" (opens beer on table edge)

2. "I think my wallett fell under the table. I can't see."
"here, use my flashlight" (pulls flashlight from pocket)
(sarcastically) "well, Go Go Gadget flashlight"
