Do your talking on the pitch

A way of saying, stop telling everyone how good you are, or complaining that people don’t recognise how good you are, and show them how good you are. Also, actions speak louder than words. You can virtue-signal all you like on Twitter, but you’re wearing fishnet stockings.
