Big Boss
The head honcho
Big Boss is the person in charge—the ultimate authority in an organization or situation.
The phrase emphasizes rank above ordinary bosses: The big boss is visiting from headquarters tomorrow.
It can be used ironically for anyone acting imperiously: Okay, big boss, whatever you say.
In casual speech, it's sometimes a playful form of address.
