Merriam/Webster defines 'panjandrum' as:
Definition of PANJANDRUM
: a powerful personage or pretentious official
Origin of PANJANDRUM
Grand Panjandrum, burlesque title of an imaginary personage in some nonsense lines by Samuel Foote
First Known Use: 1856
(ain't it grand??)
I presume the titles in any of these sites (and I belong
to two now, three at one time until it died) are the
whim of the person who set up the site.

edit: just try googling something like: pooh-bah journeyman carpal tunnel

And what exactly is a Grand Panjandrum? I know that Pooh-bah is the name of the head of the club Fred and Barney go to in the Flintstones...also possibly a riff on the leader of the Masons? ps I'm a journeyman now! I wonder what's next...and when  And don't forget Pooh Bah in "The Mikado" by Gilbert (an exceptionally talented wordsmith) & Sullivan. Pooh Bah is the "Lord High Everything Else" in Titipu, and is prone to such statements as "Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative"
