Rattle Sabering

Rattle Sabering is Saber Rattling's impotent cousin. While Saber Rattling is a hollow threat to use tactics or weaponry that could actually be dangerous, Rattle Sabering is an even weaker threat made with nothing real to back it up; imagine a toddler swinging his toy rattle like a sword -- that's Rattle Sabering!

Their lawyer threatened us with a groundless lawsuit based on "violations" and "public policies" that he completely fabricated. Total Rattle Sabering!

Rattle-eyed

Can't keep your eyes focused.

Man, I'm so rattle-eyed I can't even focus on my work.

Death Rattle

A heroic sacrifice. Whenever a person (usually fictional) either holds off or tries to take down an overwhelming amount of enemies, almost always at the expense of their life.

Boromir had a death rattle at the end of the movie.
