swaggerer
One who boasts
A swaggerer is someone who swaggers—who walks or behaves with an air of arrogant confidence or self-importance.
The word often implies more show than substance: The swaggerers at the bar turned quiet when the actual fighters walked in.
A swaggerer may boast or strut, projecting boldness that borders on cockiness.
