амер.; пренебр.(high muck-a-muck (тж. big или high mucky-a-muck))зазнайка, гордец, выскочкаIt was good Saint Stephen's practice to speak of the parishioners of Saint Richmond's as being "high mucky-mucks" - a derisive reference to the latters' supposed wealth and burning social aspirations. (E. O'Connor, ‘The Edge of Sadness’, part I, ch. VI) — Прихожане местечка Сент-Стефен испокон веков называли обывателей Сент-Ричмонда гордецами и снобами, завидуя, должно быть, их богатству и кипучей общественной деятельности.
