    Hi,

    I don't know about the diccionary, but from what I know of the word,
    Fanfarrão is someone who likes to party.
    It may be a neologism and perhaps the original meaning is different.

    When someone says "He is Fanfarrão" or "She is a Fanfarrona" one is saying
    "He/She is someone who likes to party a lot, and is being unresponsible
    over it"

    A "fanfarra" means a party with a negative 'inuendo', something in the
    line of 'over-doing it',
    'excess' and 'over the top'. One starts calling a party a 'fanfarra'
    when it is a 'big' party, not in size but in quality ;)

    "Fanfarronice" is the adverb, I believe, as in "this party is starting
    to be a 'fanfarronice'".

    Valorization of the Ego is the same as putting your 'ego' in high regard.
    Another word I would use is 'egocentric' or 'big headed'

    Hope it helps!
