An overacting actor or a performance that is over-the-top. Often characterized by using too much volume when speaking, making theatrical gestures or overemphasizing big emotions. Hammy actors are not necessarily bad actors - what can be regarded as charismatic in one context can easily become hilarious in the wrong one. Brian Blessed, Vincent Price and William Shatner are prime examples of hammy actors. Can also be used as a verb: hamming.
Although doing his best to serve the film's low key atmosphere, Vincent Price can't help relapsing into his hammy mannerisms at times.
Within the bizarre world of Flash Gordon, Brian Blessed can pile on all of his hilariously charismatic overacting, without fear of being perceived as hammy.
Star Trek is in many respects a ground-breaking series in the genre of sci-fi, but decidedly marred by William Shatner's hamming.

Get the Hammy Hoe mug.He is a sexy arab that is a magnet and all the girls love him. He has a very expendadential large cock that he uses to bribe his teachers to get A* in his tests. He is husband material and will never leave his wife unless he doesn’t get attention. He is the nicest person you will meet but can be really rude but everything he says is a joke so girls don’t get offended. He is the perfect man for any girl so if you find a hameed don’t let him go cause if you do it’s your loss and you won’t find another one.

Get the Hameed mug.
Get the Hamed mug.Haley is the name of a girl (or a boy if your parents rolled that way) that is down to earth and wants to make others smile. Someone with the name Haley knows self sacrifice, heartbreak, and a longing to be near the people who matter most. Although their are some down sides, because the name haley means down to dart that means people will take advantage of your friendship, so be careful; someone you thought was your BFFL could be your next enemy. Someone with the name Haley is extremely nice, considerate, and of course sexy. A Haley might even be stubborn and strong willed, also a animal lover!
