(AU, NZ, informal) One who big-notes; a boaster.
Australian and New Zealand slang for a boaster — someone who constantly talks themselves up, drops big names, exaggerates their achievements, and generally acts more important than they are. From the verb 'big-note oneself', the big-noter is the person at every party who has to one-up every story and remind you of how well they're doing. Delivered with the light contempt that Australians reserve for anyone who gets above themselves.
(idiomatic, slang, UK) To behave in an arrogant or self-important manner; to boast.
(slang, derogatory, figuratively) A social or conversational mistake; an awkward or inappropriate action.
