What is Sound And Fury?

The term comes from a famous soliloquy given by Macbeth in Shakespeare's play. It can be used to dismiss a person's action or argument as irrelevant or futile.

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.' -- Macbeth
