big brain
Impressive intellectual capacity
Big brain describes exceptional intelligence or a clever solution, almost always used sarcastically to mock something foolish presented as smart: Wow, big brain move forgetting your keys.
Occasionally used sincerely to praise genuine cleverness: That was a big brain play.
The phrase comes from the oversimplified notion that larger brains mean greater intelligence.
