The commercials will be desperate and disgraceful but showboating is a terrific term. Widely used in sports, to this day. I'm surprised it apparently is not well known by the younger crowd.

When I think of showboating the first example that comes to mind is Lindsey Jacobellis in the Winter Olympics.
