well it is for me at least difficult, I looked dictionary
Etymology: French, from present participle of flamboyer to flame, from Old French, from flambe
Date: 1832
- often capitalized : characterized by waving curves suggesting flames <flamboyant tracery> <flamboyant architecture>
- marked by or given to strikingly elaborate or colorful display or behavior <a flamboyant performer>
- Highly elaborate; ornate.
- Richly colored; resplendent.
- Architecture Of, relating to, or having wavy lines and flamelike forms characteristic of 15th- and 16th-century French Gothic architecture.
- Given to ostentatious or audacious display.
So while I can understand what these sentences mean, I cannot apply it to any skater's style. If you say Weir is the example, I will apply the terms of dictionary on Weir.
Flambé so far I have appplied it in crêpes.
I think Weir's character and galas & shows are definetely flamboyant but I don't think his competitive skating is.
