"All show and no go" là tiếng lóng, chỉ sự vật, sự việc có vẻ ngoài hấp dẫn nhưng không có thực lực/ không tốt như mô tả, chỉ được cái mã.
Ví dụ
The new spin on the ancient philosophy (triết học cổ xưa) is little more than an open-source (cởi mở) lifestyle brand. For the most part, it’s all show and no go, an attempt to put a philosophical veneer (vỏ bọc) on Silicon Valley hustle culture.
It isn’t all show and no-go though, the 5.7-litre V8 has a cam, high-flow fuel (nhiên liệu lưu lượng cao) rails, aftermarket intake (ống bơm), a tuned Corvette valve body (thân van) and a full 3-inch exhaust system (hệ thống ống xả). So, you know this bad boy means business.
While its tone was pleasant, it was too quiet to be effective at any sort of reasonable distance (khoảng cách hợp lý). It rattled incessantly (kêu lạch cạch liên tục) on anything other than smooth tarmac (đường nhựa trơn). The cheap plastic hammer was notorious for disintegrating (vỡ tan). In other words, it was the classic all-show-no-go.
