Answer 5

Confident, to the point of being arrogant and pushy about it.  Typically it refers to a guy who thinks he is really tough and therefore tries to pick fights with others.  Male chickens (c***s) do this sort of thing with each other in the barnyard.  They puff up their chest and try to show off how big and tough they are.  So it has connotations of having an inflated sense of self and an inflated estimation of one's abilities.  I guess, as I think about it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have those abilities, the emphasis is more on a narcissistic view of one's self.  It's how you interact with others, displaying an overconfidence and being recklessly bold.
