Definitions
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.
Don't invite him unless you want a big-noter dominating the conversation all night about his beach house.
