big man on campus
Definition: A popular man; a leader.
Example: 1) Charlie is the big man on campus -- he's the captain of the foot
ball team and the student council president.
2) Ever since Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open, he's been the big man on campus
in professional golf.
Etymology: This phrase comes from 1920s American college student slang. 'Cam
pus' is where a school is, and a 'big man' is a powerful or prominent leader
.
