“臭美(chòuměi)” is usually used to describe those who are extremely narcissistic and often talk about their good looks or qualities, but in reality, they aren’t especially beautiful or better at things than others. Sometimes we use the word to be ironic or teasing, meaning “you flatter yourself” or “get over yourself”. Finally, please remember that it can’t be used literally, that is, “you are beautiful but smell terrible”.
Examples:
Tā měitiān huàn jǐtào yīfu, zhēn shì chòuměi.
她 每天 换 几套 衣服，真 是 臭美。
She changes her clothes several times a day. She just shows off.
