Commonly expressed as '80 bucks and no gobby' but '80 dollars and no gobby' also in use. Expression refers to the act of spending a lot of money or energy and receiving a disappointing or lacklustre result. No connection between the actual price paid and the number '$80' is required. Both the figure of $80 and the act of a gobby are used in a hyperbolic sense. Often used as an expression of sympathetic disbelief at a friend's misfortune or as an expression of frustration when you realise you just got shafted.
