I get confused.....
It's supposed to be related to each other like "thunder" with "rain", "bark" with "bite".....so what about " talk" or" mouth" with "trousers"?
I don't know. I haven't heard that one before either. However, an American expression that fits is all talk and no action. Talk (or mouth) and trousers don't seem to me to be related.
