All Hat -- and No Cattle

Posted by Ward Fredericks on April 17, 2004

In Texas, an individual who talks a good game, but is suspect in terms of actually delivering on his promises is said to be "all hat, no cattle". A boastful individual without much accomplishment to show is normally the target of this expression.
Are there similar expressions outside of Texas (in the civilized part of the Empire) that suggest the same behavior?
