Get the Empty Tubemug. Derisive term for a sizable number of acquaintances of someone with a dubious reputation who make praising statements about the individual's character/morals, offer to co-sign a loan he's requesting, etc., but who are of comparably-questionable integrity themselves, are also broke, etc., and so their own word and/or reliability is viewed as not being much more of a legitimate guarantee than the promises of the person they're vouching for. In other words, "quantito, but not qualito"... lots of impressive-looking "containers", but with no actual/tangible/legitimate "goods" inside of said containers.
Loan officer: I always feel really wary/suspicious whenever someone of unknown/questionable reputation asks for a loan and offers to bring in a number of other folks to vouch for his character, reliability, and financial responsibility --- "methinks he doth protest too much", plus usually his so-called "witnesses" appear to merely be an "empty-boxcars train of assurers"... they seem no more trustworthy than I would view the loan-requester himself as being, and so their voluminous praise/recommendations hold little significance and inspire little confidence in me regarding whether the loan-requester would actually possess adequate means/motivation/dedication to repay the money. I feel something like how the lady-attorney in "Losing Isaiah" did when she pointed out that the members of the "support group" whom ex-druggie/shoplifter Khaila had named as the people who were assisting her in her efforts to "go straight" and "live clean" had themselves all been former drug-users and/or criminals, and so she felt that they should not be considered to be viable/reliable helpers to prevent Khaila from relapsing.

Refers to a group of jobless idiots trying to find any work they can. Usually members include, a clumsy idiot, 2 drunks, someone who is always looking for a fight, a silent giant and finally one sane, perverted member. This can be referred to any group of friends or peers looking for a job or quest to do
"Look at that group if idiots, I hear they call themselves The empty coinsack, they'll never get a job"

Get the Empty Gomug. An accurate term describing how uneducated loud-mouths sound when they speak about topics they know nothing about. People often labeled as such will cry racism, rather than believe they could possibly be both inarticulate and incorrect. Ant. - woke, smart
That Congresswoman is such an empty barrel; always talking like her clueless ass actually knows something.
