Bosher

/ˈbɒʃə/ noun

Definition

A person or thing that bosses around others, or someone known for being a show-off or boaster.

Etymology

From 'bosh' (nonsense/rubbish) plus the agent suffix '-er,' creating a noun for someone who talks or acts in an exaggerated way.

Kelly Says

English's '-er' suffix is so productive that we can add it to almost any word to create an agent noun—'bosher' shows how this works perfectly, turning a quality into a person who embodies it.
