How it's used
Primarily used to describe a prominent mole on the face, but it carries a strong metaphorical sense when referring to people. When applied to a person, it mocks someone who acts like a big shot or an important figure, often implying they are self-important or annoying. The tone is almost always sarcastic or dismissive.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 大粒, which is a common, neutral slang term for a high-ranking official or boss. Adding 癦 turns the meaning into a derogatory insult directed at someone's perceived arrogance.
