bravo 
exclamation
used to express your pleasure when someone, especially a performer, has done something well



gasconade (gas-kuh-NAYD)

noun: Boastful talk.
verb intr.: To boast extravagantly.

Etymology
From French gasconnade, from gasconner (to boast), after Gascon, a native of the Gascony region in France. First recorded use: 1709.

Notes
Were people from Gascony full of boast and bravado? Not necessarily. Historical rivalries lead one people to generalize others' names as having some shortcoming and some of those names become part of the language. Other examples of such words are solecism solecism, Boeotian, and fescennine.

Usage
"Stanley Hauerwas's explanation is not appreciated in an era of instant broadcast and electronic gasconade." — Irony at UVa; The Richmond Times-Dispatch (Virginia); Aug 2, 2010.
