Empty Signalling

A term used when you want to virtue signal that somebody's else's virtue signalling isn't as good as your virtue signalling for unspecific reasons.

A way for low level influencers to attempt to move up the food chain by trying to discredit influencers more popular than themselves.
Instagram Wannabe Influencer: Posting a black square on #BlackOutTuesday is empty signalling. Let me now make 3 posts about why drawing attention to this issue I pretend to care about is bad because you did it in a way different from me, allowing me to be the number one virtue signaller and attention whore when really we should focusing on ways to stop police brutality against minorities.

Empty Calories

A quarterback who puts up a lot of seemingly impressive stats, but rarely wins games, rendering his stats useless in the grand scheme of things.

Also applicable for stats put up when the team is down or up by a lot. AKA, not when a game is being determined.
Jay: I am so pumped for my team's new QB, we are going to air it out all season long.

Joel: Hmm, I don't know. All I see is a bunch of empty calories, he may be useless when it counts.

Jay: Ugh, he never wins big games, you are so right.

1. Missy has been suffering from Empty Hole Syndrome since the divorce, maybe Cruz was right about her needing to get some.

2. Sarah gave up on men after the divorce, she's been out with Becky every weekend since her son left for college, that should cure her Empty Hole Syndrome
