Googling the expression “all mouth and (no) trousers” quickly reveals that it is the topic of animated debate, particularly as regards the original form (widely agreed to be simply “all mouth and trousers”). There is even a blog (http://mouthandtrousers.blogspot.co.uk/) dedicated to “preserving and promoting the great Northern English phrase ‘All mouth and trousers’ against barbarism and neglect”.
The most recent post was over a year ago, but whether this indicates that the fight has been lost or won, or that the author has simply found a different cause to champion is unclear.
I always liked those sorts of phrases.
As for Larry Hagman, I only know him as Maj. Nelson.
