Empty Grammar Flex

An Empty Grammar Flex, or EGF, is when a user on a forum or comment thread attempts to gain leverage on other users by correcting the spelling and/or grammar of the other users in place of or in addition to focusing on content.
Example:

Man this guy just pulled an empty grammar flex on me on gearslutz, check it out...

"Please, please kill the RCA cable. They're not really even called RCA cables. I don't even know what they're real names are. RCA's just a company, they' didn' invent this stupid unbalanced cable "

1- Please check your history before complaining; RCA did invent the connector used in "phono" cables. it was in the early 1940s.

2- please check your grammar; there is a difference between "they're" and "their".

Empty Threat

When someone will go and say a consequence for someone's actions, sometimes making it sound realistic sometimes not so much, but none the less there is no intention on following up with those consequences.
"I swear I will leave you Henry after 15 years of marriage if you don't stop drinking"

"yea right, you and your empty threats"

Empty Parachute theory

The empty parachute theory is when someone (can be boy or girl but is usually a girl in heterosexual relationships) dating a boy/girl feels that their being able to get said person shows that they are clearly destined for greater things (better people) so after a while they will dump said person and attempt to find someone else. After they are unsuccessful in finding/keeping a new relationship they will then attempt to go back to the first person, almost as if they had jumped off of a cliff when they broke up with them and now after realising they had no parachute (no chance with others) they are crawling back to the top of the cliff (Original person).

This theory is common in instances where the girl was shy but attractive and the boyfriend is average (or easily friend zone-able) but is friends with a lot of people. Once the girl has become part of his social group she might feel that she can do better and attempts to find others without realising that without dating said guy she doesn't have any sort of parachute and is back at square one (If not lower).
Tim: You know my ex Emerson who dumped me a month back? She asked me out.

Alexandra: Yeah obviously, it's the empty parachute theory, she thought getting you was good but thought she could get even luckier, don't waste your time.

Jacob: Michelle dumped Jim, I wonder why, they were so good together and he helped make her so many good friends.

Amy: Oh that's classical textbook empty Parachute theory. Wait 3 weeks and she will be begging for him back.
