Phloemboyant: adjective. Describing someone who is very out-going and easily attracts attention, but in an odd or disgusting manner; either by performing odd tricks (strange body contortions), bad humour (disgusting jokes) or by doing things which are considered rude or gross in public (nail-biting). The term was originally used by German playwright and poet Friedrich Schiller, to describe the way in which his friend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe entertained his guests.
