Head charang
My late father used this curious expression as a semi-contemptuous word for
the boss of some organisation. Its usage would be on a par with "The Great
White Chief", "Our Lord and Master" and other such expressions. I have
never seen the expression written down so I'm guessing at the spelling.
Anybody here ever come across it? Derivation?
