| Comments: | I think showtime is a helpful gloss. It certainly fit the specific usage in which I heard it yesterday better than "highlight", "high point", or "climax". |

| Comments: | I think we need two senses here. "Highlight" is too broad for the original meaning. I don't think "showtime" is right. |
