Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.
The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

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.

When your girlfriend won't have sex with you; and you precede to pleasure yourself manually in full vision of her, fully flaunting your engorged member.

(2) in an attempt to induce her into sexual activity,
(3) or just simply to get a nut off.

Guy 1: What a bitch! Always making you turn to showboating.
