-The cocky attitude of an upturned collar, Abercrombie and Fitch wearing, preppy boy/girl that is still very hot, and has very good moral and ethical choices.
-One who dresses to appeal to a higher class of people than what he/she probably should be associating with while still being able to converse with everyone.
Adding unnecessary style flurishes to skilled activities, often beyond ones skill level, increasing the risk, and usually used to taunt or impress others.
That skateboarder was showboating to impress that girl when he broke his ankle.
A man or woman that takes joy In fucking in public places, usually in plain site. You'll most often see the Memphis Showboat in public parks, Jack Pirtle's Chicken parking lots, or Picadilley Cafeteria buffet lines.
1. To have a visibly exaggerated idea of ones own skills, talents, or abilities.
2. To exhibit agrotesque amount of undue and unfounded pride for a skill or ability which is actually mediocre.
Excellent examples of people who are really bad showboaters would be that 'Lord of the Dance' blockhead Michael Flatley, the ludicrously posturing Sarah Brightman and her bloated ego, and the Queen of the Showboaters, that swirling black hole of talentlessness herself - Celine Dion.
"This was our one chance to get rid of tha showboating Canadian wench!" - Peter Griffin, Family Guy
When a person want's to appear to other people as if they have a life when in all reality they're simply seeing attention and haven't quite figured out how to be interesting enough to do it for real.
