I've long been of the opinion that The Horrible Man's attempted rendering of "big league" never got corrected because no one was brave enough to tell him.

Of course it's equally likely that someone, or many people, did tell him what he was trying to say and he, thus, was compelled to continue doing it wrong. Because that is, after all, how he rolls.
