To be the center of attention, like the clown is at the circus. This term is used especially to describe success in spitting game, picking up women, or slaying. Derivatives of the term include: wearing a mask. To be "wearing a mask" is simply to be clowning. Therefore, if you are not "wearing a mask" then you are not clowning and are probably not slaying.
