Well, if someone were to call you "empty-headed" in an outrageous French
accent, you wouldn't be too happy about that, would you? :D

The only positive form of "empty" I can think of is "empty pit of
snakes," much preferable to any alternatives.

As it stands, I really wish I'd taken the time to think of a better
phrase than "nonEmpty."
