Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Inglês (RU)
- Inglês (EUA)
A big shot means someone who’s really famous or important. It’s not commonly used though you do see it from time to time. However I’ve never seen 'a big wheel' in my life, so I can’t imagine it’s that common.
