stingray affliction 

When somebody is always acting tough and talking shit, but when they fight they get the shit kicked out of them.

Also a song by the PHC band Issues, describing said affliction.

"Mike suffers from the stingray affliction. He said he could beat the shit out of Brad, but instead Brad broke 3 of his ribs."

stingray affliction 

The condition of being bullied, but with an emphasis on frequent small-scale torment as opposed to specific big instances of especially harmful behavior. Usually the affliction presents in such a way that the bullied individual passes on that bullying to other people and perpetuate the issue in a social climate.

Tyler suffers from stingray affliction at school because those meanie-ass kids are always making small stabs in passing... but the pain is bigger than it seems. This has made him a callous, tough-guy asshole in response.
