Political term of the day 4/2

muckey-mucks (muck -a-mucks): High officials,; big shots; term of derision for leaders by party workers. The expression is still often heard as high muck-a-muck because of it's probably derivation from Chinook jargon, hiu(plenty) muckamuck(food); hence, one who has plenty to eat, or a man of power, a big wheel.
