Someone who asks questions that are at a whole different level of understanding than the rest of the audience.
Sandy: Why does 1 + 1 = 2 Mr Teacher?
John: When did you decide you were going to teach 6 year olds what could barely pass as arithmetic instead of following your dreams of becoming an astronaut Mr teacher?
Mike: *nudging tony* John asking the big questions
*Tony nods in agreement*

Get the asking the big questions mug.
Apparently used once by Alf in Home and Away, this is an odd phrase which turns the verb ask into a noun. Of all things! Research indicates that it is generally used in sports and business, and randomly by Australians. It also seems to have been embraced by Friends of the Earth, being the name of their campaign against climate change.
I know it's a big ask, but can you stop climate change?
