What's SWANK in Spanish?

What's a SWANK? Well, I'm one. I'm Hillary Swank!

SWANK is one of those English words that can be either an adjective, a noun or a verb. Luckily, the meaning remains the same. Something that is SWANK is usually ostentatious, flashy, a bit too elegant or proud, but it may also be just smart. When used as a verb this word means Show Off, so the idea is not that different, is it?
FANFARRONEAR, when this word is a verb, and FANFARRÓN if it is a noun or an adjective are good translations in Spanish. 
In Informal Guayaquilean Spanish we would say SACAR LAMPARA (v) or LAMPAROSO (n).
