So I was at work today talking to one of my colleagues. He is going to the consumer electronics show in Vegas as a demonstrator for our company. All the executives will be there so I asked, "How do you feel about rubbing elbows with the muckety mucks?" He didn't know how to respond.
I started wondering if I had just made up another word (it is possible as I have a habit of doing such things). Fortunately I found a definition on Google:
muck·et·y-muck
ˌməkədēˈmək
noun, informal
a person of great importance or self-importance.
"a big Hollywood muckety-muck"
That is what I meant so it made me feel better. Have you ever used this term? Is it just a midwest US thing?
Hmmmmm.
