Quote by John Madden
With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth.
Summary
This quote portrays someone who often makes grandiose claims and boasts, but lacks the ability to back them up. The comparison to a sword-fish accentuates the idea that this person only flaunts their abilities or weapons verbally, rather than actually demonstrating them. It suggests that their talk is empty and insincere, making them appear more theatrical or posturing than truly formidable.
