I see now, so the word "trousers" implies to " action", which is pretty funny! hehe....if so, then "talk" is matchable to " action" while "mouth" to " trousers", for both "mouth" and " trousers" are visible. | I suppose so. - All talk and no action = All talk and no trousers
Those British sure have some funny expressions.
