'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?"
A member of a forum or news group who takes on some personality in the form of something familiar or comical.
A gimmick poster typically will not reveal personal details about their selves or opinions unless it matches the persona they have created or are borrowing from.
Note: Most Gimmick Posters are multis. typically they are well known regular members of the forum or newsgroup.
You know that HomerSimpson is actually JohnDoe123 dont you? yeah, he's just another multi. JohnDoe123 is always makeing up newGimmick Posters.
A buzzword to denote a product or service that, although showing much promise for paradigm shift-creating greatness, languishes in the ether as a result of failing to prove its worth beyond gimmicky uses & implementations.
However, despite years of serious development and now wider adoption by content providers and consumers alike, it has yet to emerge from the gimmicksphere.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
