Her father is the big cheese in this company.
Meaning: Her father is a very important person in this company.
Story Behind It:
The expression the big cheese most likely came from the U.S. in the early 20th century. Back then, it was common practice to display a big wheel of cheese at a large public event for some time. It would then be ceremonially cut up at a later date by a very important person. For example, in 1911, U.S. President William Howard Taft cut up a big cheese wheel at an event in Chicago. Gradually, the expression the big cheese took on the meaning of a person of great power or importance.
A: What does her father do here?
B: You didn't know? He is the big cheese in this company.
