Short Man’s Syndrome

an angry male of below average height who feels it necessary to act out in an attempt to gain respect and recognition from others and compensate for his abnormally short stature. also synonomous to little man syndrome.
he got sms
a demeaning phrases to explain the
everyday behaviour or reactions of a
shorter man. this circular definition
is very much like the black man’s
supposed “chip on the shoulder,” or a
female’s “p-n-s envy”.

it is a device to excuse discrimination
by blaming the recipient of that
discrimination.
redneck 1: “hey, that guy got angry when i ridiculed him for being short.”

redneck 2: “he did? i guess that must be short man’s syndrome.”
the phenomenon of appearing overly aggressive or -ssertive. this may be a reaction after repeatedly suffering height discrimnation (heightism) in the workplace, in relationships with women, or elsewhere during socialisation.
ample examples can be found in the usenet group alt.support.short
a term applied to a short man whenever he is -ssertive or commanding. if the exact same att-tude was taken by a taller man, no one would think twice.
tall guy steps out of a new camaro: “hey, check out that guy with the camaro!, that’s a sweet ride, i wonder how much he makes.”

short guy steps out of a new camaro: “dude, look at that little man with the camaro, talk about compensation!”

tall employer -ssigns difficult task: “my boss gives me hard jobs, but whatever, everyone has to work.”

short employer -ssigns difficult task: “d-mn, that pr-ck loves to lord his authority over me! he has major short man’s syndrome!”
a term used to dehumanize short men. on the basis of this prejudiced term, a short man isn’t allowed to do anything -ssertive, confident, or generally masculine without being accused of overcompensating or having short man’s syndrome.

whereas if a taller man exhibited the same exact behavior, n-body would bat an eyelash.
i rudely shoved that short guy at the bar out of my way, and he got all angry about it. talk about short man’s syndrome!
a story made up by tall guys with small d-cks who have nothing else going for them than their height. the same insecure guys will come up with stories to put down men of all shapes, sizes, looks, professions, talents, and intelligence levels in an attempt to make themselves look better, and still wonder why we women won’t go for them.
jason: “how did that short man end up with that girl!! i have to bring it to her attention that her guy has short man’s syndrome! also check out that fat guy with the beautiful woman; he must have fat guy’s syndrome. how about that smart guy? what a nerd! and that overly tall dude?! what a sasquatch! don’t even get me started on redhead men!”

jennifer: “get a life! and grow some b-lls so you don’t need to put others down to feel better about yourself”
highly toxic degenerative complex that often affects males 5’8″ or less in stature.

can have a seroiusly adverse affect on those within earshot of persons afflicted with this unfortunate condition.
symptoms and side affects of shortmans’ syndrome can include:

– snide, nasty b-tchy comments and one-up-man-ship about anyone employed to work with/for the shortman
– insecure behaviour, especially when others joke about small p-n-ses
– a fast car with a long bonnet
– often seen “hanging out” at that bar, either sitting bolt upright on a bar stool or slouching in a booth, bragging loudly and buying anyone/everyone drinks and then getting really annoyed when no-one reciprocates
