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.

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
