garbage disguised as hard work

Piggybackers love gimmicks because it helps disguise their piggybacking behaviour.

Often, Piggybackers spend more time writing emails (or gimmicks) than actually spending time on the actual work or task at hand. This is how you can identify a piggybacker.

Typically, the piggybackers will frustrate the piggybacked with too much gimmicks to the point that the piggybacked will choose to do it himself/herself.

Praising is a critical weapon in the piggybackers arsenal.

Piggybacking and gimmicks are synonymous -- one cannot exist without another.

Piggybacker A: Have you done your part for the report and presentation?

Piggybacker B: Yea, I have done it under a hour -- it is plain gimmicks.

Piggybacked: Can you get me some tibits and a coke?

Piggybacker A and B: Sure! *Comes back with green tea instead of coke*

Piggybacked: I wanted coke!

Piggybacker A and B: We are concerned about your health!

Piggybacker A and B: I like your laptop very, very much!

Piggybacked: Really? It is a very old laptop!

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."
