Guy 1 - John thinks he is so tough because he grunts when he lifts weights.
Guy 2 - Ya, his Napoleon Complex is showing, he is totally trying too hard.
Girl 1 - Andrea is trying too hard. She thinks she is so hot when she pops her cleavage and shows her ass.

A obnoxious and crass person who partakes in scandalous sexual behavior to get the attention of a large audience. They usually come across as someone who is trying too hard. They have to overcompensate for a lack of other desirable qualities by provoking outrage with salacious behavior.
