Dinah,
You wrote,[...I doubt...referrence to him...the big cheese...But if he does...he will...when he returns...].
I am not requesting that a determination be made on the basis as to what the person considers of the idiom toward him, but if the use of {...the big cheese...] is acceptable or not {in relation to the guidlines of the forum}.
If Dr. Hsiung allows himself to be referred to as {the big cheese}, does that mean that I would have to allow posters here to refer to me as {the big cheese?}
I have heard this expression and it has not always been used in a complimentary manner toward a person when I have heard it used toward a person.
Lou
