The undeniable fixation over being represented as the main character within a hypothetical, fiction-based scenario.
I was talking with this Italian about Transformers last night and man he has a Chiodo complex. Poor bloke thought he was a Prime, when he was an Ironhide at best.

Essentially the antithesis to the Madonna-whore complex where a woman may be sexually attracted to the dominant and agressive "gigolo" but may not see him as an ideal partner or spouse. On the other hand she romantically desires the mellow and submissive "gentleman" to be a husband and father to her children but may not respect him as a man or partner. The "gigolo" may possess dark human traits that are deemed "toxic" or "dangerous" such as Machiavellianism or could simply just be charismatic, masculine, and attractive, as well as being able to sexually satisfy the woman. Meanwhile the gentleman may possibly possess pure traits including sensitivity, emotional intelligence and even leadership qualities and financial success, but may also be shy, non-confrontational, passive-agressive, and submissive which at worst makes him more susceptible to molding and manipulation and may not sexually satisfy the woman.
Man 1: Did you see that girl Cheri give that millionaire dude her number
Man 2: yeah but she has a Gentleman-Gigolo Complex, and that guy isn't going for someone like her

A complex where the creator of any representation of something else (Statue, drawing, etc.) believes one of their specific creations, or all of them, are so realistic that it must fulfill the role of the object it is representing. This is in reference to Michelangelo's famous episode where he carvead a statue so similar to a real person he god mad when it didn't answer him, he punched it and broke part of its knee.
That idiot got Michelangelo Complex after writing that Urban Dictionary defenition, and really expected it would become widely adopted piece of slang

Different to a normal one armed pushup, a complex one armed pushup is done like a pushup when you straighten out your legs but with one hand, a normal one armed pushup is done on your knees which makes a difference between these 2 exercises.
