show out

In sports, when an athlete has a superlative (if he is a star) or uncharacteristically good (if he is a lesser/role player) performance. Usually applied to fantasy teams, but can be used in a general sense as well.

Synonym- blow up
Antonym- ho' out

1. The Star

Fantasy Football Player 1 (mimicking Denzel): "King Kong ain't got nothin on me!"

FFP2: "Get outta here man, I would have beaten you by at least 10 points if Adrian Peterson hadn't showed out with over 300 yards."

2. The Role Player

Fantasy Basketball Player 1: "What are you talking about, Eric Dampier gets 20 points, 10 boards, and 5 blocks all the time"

FBP2: "Quit lyin to yourself. Those numbers are Erica's biggest showout in like 10 years"

3. The Non- Fantasy Player

Stephen Curry baby--puttin Davidson on his back with a 40 point show out. How you like them apples??

4. Famous Usage

Brendan Haywood, center for the Washington Wizards, screaming in the face of 20-year-old Andray Blatche in the pregame introductions of one of Blatche's first starts:

"Show out or Ho' out!"

Chappelle's Show

(N.) A hilarious sketch comedy show on Comedy Central that is known for being America's #1 source of offensive humor. In fact, it really is the ONLY thing funny on Comedy Central. It has been renewed for a second season and unless Comedy Central plans to pull a "FOX", it seems to be here to stay for a while.

Interviewer: "Thank You, Lil' Jon."
Chappelle as Lil Jon: "What?!"
Interviewer: "Thank You, Lil' Jon."

Show Choir

The extra awesome extraccurricular activity at schools mostly in the mid west. it is where high school students prance arround on giant risers, duck tape the bottom of their shoes, use enough aqua net to cause lung cancer, sleep on the floors of buses, talk trash about that one girl who "can't do a jazz hand to save her life", and at the end of the day, go home with a few sparkly trophies that make for great weapons if someone is being annoying on the bus ride home. Guys wear more make up than David Bowie, and girls aren't afraid to strip in front of a large crowd of boys. We sweat, get sprained ankles, curse, and at the end of the day made some good friends and had some awesome times! Ah Show Choir...what's not to love!?

Dude 1: Dude! that girl over there is totally stripping!
Dude 2: Yea so, she's in Show Choir.
Dude 1: Well still, why aren't you totally in awe over this?
Dude 2: Cause I'm in Show Choir...
