joe says he makes a lot of money and wants to buy my business, but after checking his credit references i've found that he's all hat and no cattle
this is a saying (and i can't for the life of me find the origins) that means that someone is all talk and no action/substance
"joe says he makes a lot of money and wants to buy my business, but after checking his credit references i've found that he's all hat and no cattle" What is the definition of "all hat and no cattle"?
