An empty barrel makes the most noise when it is knocked. When you call someone an "empty barrel" you are calling them stupid or a moron, as in nothing in your head.
This empty barrel shouldn't comment on the situation because she doesn't know what she's talking about.

A sly, euphemistic way of saying "uppity nigger" - without seeming like an obvious bigot. Also used in misogynistic ways to describe vocal black women by patronizing, old, white assholes.

Similar to the term 'empty suit' used in business circles, it refers to anyone who has a position of seeming importance and looks the part, but is actually ineffectual, incomptent, or stupid. Looks good on the outside but no content or substance.

Fredrica talks so much shit! You would think that Empty Barrell was a politician if it wasn't for that ridiculous $2 outfit she's wearing.

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.
