We Need A New Word

We need a word for something that could've been 0r should've been cool. You know, it's a marvelous piece of technology, or fabby design, or whatever, but it's so hyped or wanted that it's entirely worthless.

Let's start with a list:
  • iPhone ("...rounded up and made to work in a Chinese toothpaste factory." - Dave)
  • Segway ("...soon-to-be-recalled-again 12 m.p.h. glorified moped that makes anyone who rides it look like a complete tool." - Wonkette)
  • Democrats ("...the Washington Generals. - Rich)
  • Michael Moore
  • Gasoline internal combustion engine
  • Interleague baseball
You get the idea.

I'll call this category, "Bank!" Bunk (phoney) and rank (shitty). Bank. "Dude, the Segway is fucking bank."
