出风头

出风头

Literally means:

show off your special skills

Actually means:

show sth/sb off; seek the limelight

This phrase means derogatively that someone tries to draw other people's attention by showing off. It also means (neutrally) that someone makes a good presentation of his or her talent or ability in public.

指在公开场面故意表现自己，以引起众人注意，或让人羡慕。也指在公开场合显示自己的能力或本领。用在前一种情况时，有时表示说话人不赞同这种行为。
