blusterers
Noisy empty threateners
Blusterers are people who bluster—who talk in a loud, aggressive, or boastful way, often to mask weakness or uncertainty.
The term suggests empty threats and puffed-up posturing: The blusterers in the meeting backed down when challenged.
A blusterer makes noise but rarely follows through.
