swaggerers
Arrogant show-offs walking
Swaggerers are people who swagger—who walk or behave with exaggerated confidence, often verging on arrogance.
The word suggests self-importance and a desire to be noticed: The swaggerers at the bar kept interrupting everyone's conversations.
It carries a slightly archaic or literary flavor, evoking Elizabethan ruffians as much as modern braggarts.
