I recently heard it as “An empty wagon makes the most noise.” Either way oh my lord it’s true with some people like all get-out! (Not Earl, I like him. Opal, meh.)
Isn’t a wart an odd thing to call a child? I would figure Grandpa would call him a whippersnapper, or something along those lines. I’ve been called a lot of things, and called others a lot of things, but the word wart, never came to mind.
Might as well call Nelson a bunion, or plantar toe, or if he was really upset, a leprosy infected finger.

“An empty can makes the most noise”? How does a can make noise if it’s not being rolling across the floor nor falling onto?

You always use a empty can when you play " Kick The Can ".

Is that an old saying that you just made up? In any case, it’s a good one.

According to my dad it was “An empty BARREL makes the most noise”. (ca. 1940)
