"All cry and no wool" có wool là cơn giận -> cụm từ này nghĩa là làm ầm ĩ, om sòm về những chuyện vặt vãnh; 'chuyện bé xé ra to'.

Ví dụ
There is all cry and no wool. Under-development is not only an economic concept, it manifests in many other ways, in attitudes, assumptions, and even aspirations. In a troubled country, it is not only those who are at the bottom of the social ladder who have a long way to go, those who are on top of the pile are also manifestly ‘under-developed’.

Most of these inquiries are very Sri Lankan, all cry and no wool. There will be a portentous announcement (báo điềm gở) of the commission of inquiry, the panel will commence hearings with fanfare (phô trương ầm ĩ); many will come and go in big vehicles, bulky files will be carried to and fro, newspapers will report dramatic developments, and invariably the inquirers will ask for further time for deliberations.
