cop out

An event or climax that is extremely built up to and hyped, only to turn out to be a completely boring and utterly unimpressive waste of time.

The ending to Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain.

"Wait...the completely unstoppable supervirus turned into a non-lethal form. Now it eats rubber instead of killing people! We are saved!"

Reader: "What a fucking cop out."

e-fatuation

Infatuation, but over the internet. Deep feelings or a deep liking of someone you met online; most people tell themselves they love someone, but they are really only infatuated.

Man, I'm in deep e-fatuation with this girl I met on MySpace. She's so awesome.
