big guys

The imposing ones

Big guys is an ironic internet phrase used to dismiss someone's perceived authority or self-importance.

Originating from a scene in *The Dark Knight*, the full exchange—You're a big guy / For you—became a meme.

Now used standalone to mock overconfidence or deflate posturing: Oh, you work in finance? Big guys.
