What is meant by the words of Falstaff honour is a mere scutcheon in King Henry IV Part 1?

An escutcheon is a crest of arms, that is, an unearned token of status. Falstaff means that honor is often waved about and trumpeted, but rarely means anything about the individual that claims to possess it.

What does shakespeare mean by the word thrust?
"Thrust" meant pretty much the same thing in Shakespeare's day as it does now, to push, especially to push with a view to piercing or penetrating. Shakespeare uses it fairly often, both in a literal and a figurative sense. Thus Doll Tearsheet in Henry IV Part 2 says to Falstaff, "By wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play saucy cuttle with me." This is the literal meaning. Benedick, when talking to Claudio about his willingness to marry, says, "thou wilt needs thrust thy neck into a yoke". An example of the word used to push someone out as opposed to pushing something in, is Apemantus's line in Timon of Athens, "I come to have thee thrust me out of doors." The most famous line in Shakespeare using this word is Malvolio's "some have greatness thrust upon 'em", with "thrust upon" meaning "pushed on" or "imposed".
