Hocking a chinik....

Jewish Immigrants and Language - The Peopling of New York City (cuny.edu)

hock a chinik—(lit. knock a teapot) to bluster or rant without purpose or result. Originates from the idea that an object shaken in an empty container makes noise, but a full container is quiet when shaken. (i.e. those with the least substance and sense in their opinions make the biggest commotion). "Stop hocking a chinik" means "Stop spewing, you're talking nonsense."
