showboating 

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.

The Washington Generals were down 150 to 10 but the Globetrotters were still showboating for the crowd.

Memphis Showboat

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.

Look at those Memphis Showboats over there fucking on top of that statue of Robert E. Lee.

showboating 

1. To have a visibly exaggerated idea of ones own skills, talents, or abilities.
2. To exhibit a grotesque 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.
