差生文具多
网络流行语
差生文具多,网络流行语,最初的字面意思,就是调侃成绩较差的学生,听课不咋地,考试不咋地,学习用的文具却有模有样,一套一套地买。

引申含义
最初的字面意思,就是调侃成绩较差的学生,听课不咋地,考试不咋地,学习用的文具却有模有样,一套一套地买。
后来运用场景从学校拓展到其他领域,比如说健身,做菜,养花,等等,表示学艺不精没事,仪式感先做足。

五分钟热度也好,差生文具多也罢,我们好像都习惯了很轻易的喜欢上一件事情,就去义无反顾的买了原以为必要的物件,给了自己一个轰轰烈烈的开始,然后就没有然后了。

Editor: <<It originated from a viral video featuring a student meticulously using various advanced stationery items—such as an electric pencil sharpener, an electric eraser, and a desktop vacuum cleaner—while doing homework. This elaborate setup led to the humorous observation that "学霸两支笔,差生文具多".>>

"all the gear and no idea" hits the mark very nicely, I think, although it's apparently more of a UK expression.
Similar US expressions apparently include:
"All show and no go"
"Big hat, no cattle"
"Buying the jersey doesn’t make you a player"
But in the context of this cc-cedict definition, "all the gear and no idea" is pretty self-explanatory.
I'm familiar with the phrase, at any rate.
