Noun
- One who shows off; a person given to egotistically demonstrating their prowess or ability.
- Quit being such a show-off, before someone gets hurt.
Usage notes
- Describing someone as a show-off conveys an implicit endorsement of their capability. One can only show off if one actually has something to flaunt or demonstrate. An individual who seeks unwarranted attention is usually described more dismissively as an attention seeker or loudmouth.
