"The Tail Wagging The Dog"............




The smallest or least important part of something in control of the larger or more important elements; a reversal of typical roles or dynamics of power.

People talk about the tail wagging the dog to describe a situation where an unimportant part of something or an unimportant person or group involved in something has too much influence over it.
