[Ads-l] The Big Cheese (Important Person) online

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Dear members of ads-l,

Last spring several of you contributed information
about the expression the big cheese (important person),
and I compiled all that I had on the subject for the
Oct. 2023 issue of Comments on Etymology.
Due credit is of course given.

Recently I put it online for the easy access of anyone
interested:
