big heads
Inflated self-regard
Big heads refers to people who are arrogant or have an inflated sense of their own importance.
Someone with a big head thinks too highly of themselves: Those big heads in management never listen to us.
The phrase can also literally describe large craniums, though this use is less common than the figurative sense of conceit.
