"Has more bark than bite" = Sủa nhiều vậy thôi chứ có cắn đâu mà sợ -> Chỉ người hay quát tháo, la lối nhưng thực ra không đáng sợ hay nguy hiểm gì cả.

Ví dụ
Big tech is facing fallout (sự không mong muốn) over its antitrust (chống độc quyền) hearing, and Wedbush Analyst Dan Ives said this fight was "more bark than bite".

There’s no reason to believe President Trump intends to follow through with the supposedly planned raids on 2,000 migrants (dân nhập cư) living illegally (phi pháp) in the U.S. Like one reporter said Thursday on CNN, Trump's immigration rhetoric (lời khoa trương) is “more bark than bite.”

Chewy's problem is its ability to navigate the competitive landscape. Investors also must contend with it having a majority owner that has complete say over how the business is run, which may be counter to outside shareholder wishes. At this point, Chewy has more bark than bite, and investors should wait to see whether it can run with the big dogs.
