the big time

To be classed as the big time is infinitely impossible, yet perfectly possible. It is a completely tangible term, and will never be able to be defined indefinitely. To be the big time is to have a certain swagga, a certain 'air' of authority and dominance, and a hint of je ne sais quoi. Many people claim they are, in fact, the big time, when really, anyone that really is the big time, doesn't need to tell others they are. Mere physical presence alone should inform onlookers that they are the big time.

Dan: George, why didn't you do your homework?
George: Because I'm the big time.
Dan: You're not the the big time. Mario Balotelli is the big time.
