Grand Poobah 

Is a title given to someone who holds an exalted position.
The name has come to be used as a mocking title for someone important or high-ranking and who exhibits an inflated self-regard.

"Fred Flintstone and his friend Barney Rubble were members of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes Lodge No. 26. A high ranking elected position within this organization is Grand Poobah or Grand Imperial Poobah. Poobah is a title of respect and often is linked to might in a role."

Pittsburgh poobah 

The act of shitting on your mate's foot in the shower after he/she has applied shampoo and closed his/her eyes.

Another in the long line of scatalogically-based acts which carries the name of a working class Midwestern city.

Janie peed on Zeke in the shower last week, but he got revenge by giving her a Pittsburgh poobah last night.
