ALL BARK AND NO BITE

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having a good day. 

Today we look at another colloquial English expression, which we tend to use in conversation. 

Today's expression is: ALL BARK AND NO BITE

Meaning: this expression describes someone who talks big but lacks action, power, or substance. It describes a person who often says cutting remarks, but actually has a soft personality.

Example 1: When I was young I realized that the tough-talking kids at school often turned out to be all bark and no bite, and they usually became my friends.

Example 2: I'm a bit worried about the new boss; he talks tough, but when it comes to making decisions, he's all bark and no bite.
