OK this gets kinda cheesy. Additions welcome

The big cheese: the boss, the powerbroker.
     As per Shadow Ticket  I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb 
to suggest the US's own orangey blond bomber and 2 timing POTUS as the 
Al Capone of cheese, mentored by mob lawyer and all around fascist liar 
Roy Cohn, master of fake radioactive cheese and 'reality'-game-shows, 
serial pedophile who fantasized about dating his own daughter, magnetic 
figurehead of modern fascism who just stepped in a big pile of economic 
and military shit on his way to make the yuge sure-thing final deal ... 
actually it's his own shit he stepped in and spread far and wide and it 
really hit the fan now.

  That’s just the cheese.   cheese as metaphor for whatever is desired - 
money, success, a great experience.

They are cheese and chalk.  they are very different

cheesy-  emotionally manipulative, too easy

Cheese, man, did he really say that? sub for Jesus

aged cheese as metaphor for slow internal changes toward richness and 
complexity

cheese it, the cops.
  British people, typically those living a meager lifestyle on or near 
the streets, used the words “cheese it” the same way that others might 
say “knock it off,” or “stow it.” It normally came with the idea of a 
warning; to stop doing something wrong because you were about to be 
caught in the act.
The reason “cheese” is in the phrase at all is up for debate. Some 
scholars believe that “cheese” came from an old proverb, in which the 
full saying was “after cheese comes nothing,” meaning cheese was the 
last thing someone got to eat.

Others believe that it is simply a mispronunciation of the name “Jesus” 
as a word of alarm. Either way, the popularity of the phrase continued 
until it even showed up in the United States. Someone also suggested 
cease it as the source.

The relation  of this phrase to Shadow Ticket seems strong, since people 
in uniforms are showing up everywhere with Jews, unionists, non-whites 
and non-conformists on the run.

Who cut the cheese? who farted
