fanfaronade noun [fan-fer-uh-neyd]
bragging; bravado; bluster
Ah, the 3 "Bs" of Texas...or of Texans, actually.
I never had heard of this word before and I doubt that most of my fellow Texans have, either. It's not something we'd use in everyday speech, mainly because we'd somehow make those four syllables stretch into at least eight and take a minute - or longer- to say the entire word.
Besides, it sounds like it's some sort of rodeo event or a variation of the Two-Step...or maybe some sissy cocktail that only city folks would drink.
