Draw'can-sir, n.

n. [From Drawcansir, the name of a character who, in a celebrated play, “The Rehearsal,” written chiefly by Geo. Villiers, duke of Buckingham, who died in 1688, enters in a scene representing a battle, and after killing all the combatants on both sides, makes an extravagantly boastful speech.] A blustering, bullying fellow; a braggart. The leader was of an ugly look and gigantic stature: he acted like a drawcansir, sparing neither friend nor foe. Addison.
