Perhaps you'd care to explain it ? If only for the benefit of we non-USA folks ?

I take it to mean someone who overestimates their personal contribution, HP.

A little like the mouse and the elephant, walking side by side across a wooden bridge. Turning to the elephant, the mouse says: 'Gosh. Aren't we making a lot of noise!'

Maybe with Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And a smile on the face of the tiger
