all meat and no potatoes

Comes from the 1940's song by Fats Waller, "All That Meat and No Potatoes." The phrase refers to a physically attractive woman with an otherwise nice figure "all that meat", but who is proportionally small breasted, "and no potatoes".

All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes.
Here I'm waiting, palpitatin',
For all meat and no potatoes.
