Get the Empty shootin'mug. Derisive term for a situation where a chronic moocher tries to temptingly persuade you to "just give him one very last loan" supposedly in order to enable him to accomplish whatever he needs to do in order to become able to finally pay you back all that he owes you --- and possibly a bit extra as a gratitude gesture --- in one lump sum. The idea is that he still does not even possess a real "carrot" --- i.e., any actual cold hard cash --- to offer you, but he is merely offering you the empty-talk promise of a "whole bag or carrots" --- i.e., a large one-time payment-amount that is far greater than any of the individual loans you have given him so far -- if you continue to bust your a** on his behalf. And of course, this assertion, too, is itself usually just another worthless promise, similar to all the other times when said handout-seeker has come bawling and blubbering to you for financial assistance in the past.
The local preacher tried to tell me that if I toil my butt off and live a life of strict propriety and chastity, **maybe** I will be given great rewards in Heaven. Sounds like a classic "empty carrots-bag on a stick" promise to me --- why should I suffer the agonies of an extra-hard and boring existence, especially when I am not even assured of any recognition or benefits for my efforts, anyway???

Get the Empty humormug. Hym "Empty Small Talk and nothing more I still hate all of these people and don't want to be a part of any of their lives for any amount of time and if I am not allowed to remove myself from this situation in a way that does not leave me bereft or requires me to accept and conditions or change anything I'm doing in any way shape or form I will inevitably murder a child because I refuse to willing be cut out of all of the money I am being used to make."

Get the Empty Small Talkmug. The bar under my apartment is awesome but they've got empty page syndrome, you never know if there's events or happy hour looking at their Twitter.
