What is the source of capital-B "Big" as a specific adjective imparting this meaning? Other examples are "Big Oil", "Big Optometry", "Big Tobacco", and humorous usage along the lines thereof on Internet forums -- could the usage ultimately derive from Orwell's "Big Brother", or is it an independent development? 73.169.192.71 02:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
