Two Gin Bottles and a Stop Sign

a term to describe mounting excitement followed by massive disappointment..derived from Geraldo Rivera's epic embarassement, in which he opened a vault he believed contained Al Capone's hidden fortune in a worldwide live TV special.. only two empty gin bottles and and an old stop sign.

"how'd your date go w/ that supermodel you met online?"
"Dude, it was two gin bottles and a stop sign. I should have known it was too good to be true when she wouldn't send me a closeup picture."
