 The "big head" is popular way of expressing common and very frequent ailment. It arises from various sources, but the real foundation is a lack of sense.

The truth is no sensible person gets the "big head" The one who becomes stuck up and stif-necked from sources of every kind is weak in the intellectual caliber.
