The inverse of a Chekhov's Gun.
A literary device that would be perceived as vital to the plot of a story, only to hold little to no actual significance later.
Not to be confused with a Red Herring, which are used intentionally to mislead or distract the reader. A Dehydration Gun would commonly result from poor writing decisions, or plot holes.
The term derives from an item of the same name, in the movie 'Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate', where it would have been a valid solution to many of the obstacles the movie provides, but is not used.
"Wait... Couldn't they have just used that thing from the beginning of the story?"
"I know, right? But no, it just turned out to be a Dehydration Gun."
A word in which to describe someone who is particularly good at using hypodermic needles that may or may not be used for heroin use

Something that cannot be obtained by being human. You have to go through ruthless suffering and torture to obtain this item and it will all be for nothing once you meet inevitable death. First you have to play skyrim for 30 hours straight then kill your mother. Second step is to leave the house with all pets and train them in animal fighting rings. Third step is get married, fourth step is kill your husband/wife. And steal the ring back. That’s an important step. The fifth and final step is to sacrifice yourself and the rings by supergluing them onto your body and jumping into a volcano, to which your pets will follow you as well. The sixth but optional step is to break out of hell and ascend to heaven (where you rightfully belong). This is how you obtain this item.
“Wow I would literally climb up a volcano and toss my body into it to get a gun-shooting knife.”
“My wife hates gun-shooting knives.”
“Please help me, Jasper stole my gun-shooting knife.”
