To swagger or strut about in an ostentatious or arrogant manner, especially as a complete behavior.
From 'be-' (intensive prefix) + 'strut' (to walk with exaggerated pride). The 'be-' prefix suggests doing something thoroughly or completely, making 'bestrut' suggest full, unashamed strutting.
This is a fantastic word that captures someone who doesn't just walk proudly—they STRUT, they BESTRIDE, they completely take over a space with their presence. It's the exact opposite of being humble, making it perfect for comedic characters.
