email muscles

Acting with bravado over email when in a face to face situation the emailer would be in a subservient position.

Related to beer muscles where the internet is substituted for alcohol.

Can also take the form of “message board muscles”
Example: a man in an email to his friends claims his wife does what she is told. In reality the man is a follower. Dave has email muscles when it comes to his wife.
