What's a 'big kid'?

I just had an amusing thought that goes back to childhood and the term 'big kid'.

As in "some big kid stole my lunch money". or whatever.

If I recall clearly and look back on it, the generally unspoken rule of thumb was that if someone was was either a couple years older or about a head taller he was a big kid. The inverse holds true, also. A couple of years or a head shorter was a little kid and it pretty much stayed that way until somewhere around high school.

Hmmm...Haven't thought of that one for decades.
