some pumpkins
амер.; разг.
важная персона, важная птица (иногда встречается в искажённом виде some punkins)

Emma: "...You may fool 'em into you're some pumpkins but they'd change their minds if they had to live in the same house with you playing silly jokes all the time." (E. O'Neill, ‘Different’, act I) — Эмма: "...Им ты можешь пустить пыль в глаза, они-то поверят, что ты важная птица, но тебе не удалось бы обмануть их, живи они с тобой под одной крышей и слушай все твои дурацкие шутки."

The first time I ever came to New York I was a greenhorn - no, don't laugh, mebbe [= may be] I still am! But I had already been elected a United States Senator, and back home, the way they'd serenaded me, I thought I was some punkins. (S. Lewis, ‘It Can't Happen Here’, ch. 12) — Когда я первый раз приехал в Нью-Йорк, я был простаком... Не смейтесь, может, я и до сих пор им остался. Но я уже тогда был сенатором Соединенных Штатов, и дома, на родине, со мной так носились, что я вообразил себя бог весть какой важной птицей.

‘You oughtn't to ride the boy so hard. Still, that was pretty cute about the necktie - I guess Mart does think he's some punkins,’ chuckled Mr. Tozer. (S. Lewis, ‘Arrowsmith’, ch. XIV) — - Зря ты так донимаешь мальчика. А впрочем, насчет плохо повязанного галстука замечено точно. Мне кажется, Мартин и впрямь слишком много о себе воображает, - кудахтал мистер Тозер.
