Spiritual, a really good site that explains lots of short English
phrases is:

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/

For example, they have:

hot air INFORMAL
If something that someone says is hot air, it is not sincere and will
have no practical results:
His promises turned out to be so much hot air.
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

They also have "elbow room" which you asked about recently.

Fiction. In politics, it is much of what politicians do. Some people will
speak a lot of nonsense in a heated or angry tone, even if you are behaving
in a sensible manner, just because it surprized them. It is hard to ignore
them, sometimes, and a natural response is to return fire or obey.

By contrast, blowing hot and cold has a totally different meaning.
