Definition
耍嘴皮子
Literally means:
talk glibly
Actually means:
engage in empty talk
It means that one talks much but his words are of no value and cannot solve problems. It also means that one merely talks, but does not take actions to do the things. Such an act often makes people dislike him.
指话说了很多，却没有什么价值，解决不了实际问题。也指光会说话，但不做或做不了实在的事。常让人反感。
Example
Used as predicate, attributive or object, and it can have other words in between. (作谓语、定语、宾语，中间可插入别的词语)
