reverse horizontal napoleon complex

A theorized inferiority complex normally attributed to people who are overweight. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behavior, such as lying, spreading rumors, manipulating or even harming others who may stand in their way, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings. A reverse horizontal napoleon complex has many of the same characteristics of a normal napoleon complex, with the difference being an overabundance of body mass as opposed to a short stature. This complex is sometimes synonymous with roid-rage, but can also apply to people with an abnormal or excessive fat accumulation where the subjects BMI is over 30.

That biker has reverse horizontal napoleon complex, he thinks he is big and bad because he weighs 300 pounds.
