bighead
Inflated self-regard
Bighead is an informal term for someone with an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities—a swelled head.
The word works as both a condition and a label for the person afflicted: Don't get a bighead just because you won once, He's such a bighead about his promotion.
In veterinary and agricultural contexts, bighead refers to various animal diseases causing head swelling.
