Sometimes company bosses are called the brass. They are also sometimes called 'top brass' or 'brass hats'. Experts disagree about how the strange expression started, but they may have come from Britain. Leaders of the 19th century British army wore pieces of metal called oak leaves on their hats. The metal brass has a color similar to that of gold. So a leader came to be called a brass hat or even the top brass.By the 1940s, the expression had spread beyond military leaders. It also included civilian officials. Other expressions that mean boss or employer have nothing to do with brass or hats. One of these is 'big cheese'. A cheese is a solid food made from milk. The expression probably started in America in the late 19th century. Cheese, the meaning is a thing. So the meaning of ' big cheese' may be a big thing. An employer usually does not object to being called boss. But most workers would not call their employers big cheeses, top brass or brass hats to their faces. These words are not really insulting but neither do they show great respect.Employers also have expressions to describe their workers. One of them is that he or she works like a Trojan. This expression probably comes from the ancient writings of the great poet Homer. He wrote about the Trojans who worked very hard to protect their city. Now the expression is often used to describe an employee who works hard for a company. Be happy if your company's brass hats say you work like a Trojan. They may consider you valuable enough to increase your pay.59.
