hollowest
Least filled inside
The superlative form of hollow—most hollow.
Something physically hollowest has the most empty space inside: The hollowest log makes the best drum.
Figuratively, the hollowest victory, promise, or laugh is the most empty of substance or sincerity: His hollowest reassurances came just before the layoffs.
