A person, often short in stature, who uses the longest route possible to solve a problem, often creating other problems along the way; also a small person with a large ego, similar to Napolean, only with the stubborness of a native Italian. This person will find several ways to solve the same problem, only all of them will be incorrect.

Stop being so dean! You think you know everything but you're ALWAYS wrong!
