Jeepers Lou!
You do seem to like designing multi-guess quizes
:-).Personally, they make me feel nervous. Sometimes it can be hard to pick the 'best answer'...
I guess the 'big cheese' could be used to refer to anyone who the utterer (speaker / writer) considers to be the best or the top or the boss of something. If someone felt that way about any of the people you mentioned then I guess they might call any of them the 'big cheese'.
Ever thought of doing philosophy of language??
You would probably be quite good at it...
:-)
