big-head
Inflated sense of self
Big-head is informal for an inflated sense of one's own importance or abilities—essentially, a swelled ego.
Someone with a big head thinks too highly of themselves: Don't let the promotion give you a big-head.
The term can also describe the person themselves: He's such a big-head about his test scores.
Also spelled as one word or two.
