The name Pooh-Bah has come to stand for anyone with no real authority but who acts otherwise, as in the expression The Grand Pooh-Bah, first introduced in episodes of The Flintstones.

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.

In addition, Howard Cunningham (TV series "HAPPY DAYS") was a Grand Poobah of Leopard Lodge No. 462 in Milwaukee.

That's why I love being a poohbah -- all surface, no substance or responsibilities.
