| Definition | Peacocking is when a person shows off to impress someone. It comes from the colorful feathers an actual peacock displays to attract a mate. The term is commonly used in regards to dating when a male tries to impress a female by doing something flashy to stand out from among the rest of the suitors. Peacocking may take the form of driving a really expensive car, learning some sweet dance moves, or domming in sports. |
