The term "most big wheel" is a curious phrase that appears to be a combination of two separate idioms: "most" (meaning "almost all" or "the majority of") and "big wheel" (meaning an important or influential person). In terms of phonetic transcription, "most" is pronounced /moʊst/ with a long o sound and a soft s at the end, while "big wheel" is pronounced /bɪɡ ˈwil/ with a short i sound in "big" and a wheeled diphthong in "wheel." Together, the phrase seems to suggest an influential person who is almost ubiquitous.
