showgloating 

Praying in public and/or taking pride in praying during public events "like the hypocrites" contrary to Jesus' New Testament commandment in Matthew 6: 5-6.

Matthew 6: 5-6
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

The pastor was heaping praise upon showgloating high school athletes who chose to drop onto one knee and pray aloud just before the start of the big game.

showboating 

Adding unnecessary style flurishes to skilled activities, often beyond ones skill level, increasing the risk, and usually used to taunt or impress others.

That skateboarder was showboating to impress that girl when he broke his ankle.

The Washington Generals were down 150 to 10 but the Globetrotters were still showboating for the crowd.

showboating 

1. To have a visibly exaggerated idea of ones own skills, talents, or abilities.
2. To exhibit a grotesque amount of undue and unfounded pride for a skill or ability which is actually mediocre.

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.

"This was our one chance to get rid of tha showboating Canadian wench!" - Peter Griffin, Family Guy

When a person want's to appear to other people as if they have a life when in all reality they're simply seeing attention and haven't quite figured out how to be interesting enough to do it for real.

Showboating 

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.

This may be done

(1) out of spite,

(2) in an attempt to induce her into sexual activity,

(3) or just simply to get a nut off.

Guy 1: Hey dude, did you get any pussy last night?

Guy 2: No damnit, my girl was tired so I showboated.

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