Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb, gigioneggiàre, which means to overact or to be histrionic.  

When conjugated in the present tense, the stress shifts: io gigionèggio, tu gigionèggi, lui/lei gigionèggia…loro gigionèggiano.

The past participle is gigioneggiato, and avere is used in compound tenses.  

See the verb used below:

A Robin piace molto gigioneggiarsi davanti agli altri…è convinta di essere più bella e intelligente sulla faccia della terra. Ma forse dovrebbe imparare ad essere più umile!

Robin likes to be histrionic a lot in front of others...she is convinced she is the most beautiful and intelligent person on the face of the Earth.  But perhaps she should learn to be more humble!
