An All-American male with so much confidence he never gives your corpse a second thought as he flys on past. Nowadays used either in the physical or emotional sense.
Now more often associated with sports car driving habits - but originally it meant top gun type, fighter pilots. Originally it was a reference to how fighter jet afterburners looked like flaming (circular) assholes when they flew past targets and the type of personality that flew those planes.
