When a tall person believes they are both literally AND figuratively above someone else due to the unconscious bias and privileges gained due to their larger stature.
Symptoms of this behavior can be:
- Confidently explaing things to others without understanding the subject
- Assuming one is more capable than others, without any meritocratic foundation
- Assuming the role of “mentor” or “manager” without having the necessary capabilities, experience or situational understanding
- Reflexively dismissing the opinions of others, especially those shorter than oneself without due consideration
- Dismissing ones own privilege and crediting one’s mediocre abilities and “mindset” instead
- Feeling immediately uncomfortable/insecure when one sees someone taller than themselves
- Deriving ones personality and sense of identity purely from their height
- Looking down on other people both literally AND figuratively.

Example 1
John: *has an opinion Rudy doesn’t like*
Rudy: “Shut up, elf”
John: man, talk about Sasquatch syndrome.
Example 2
Gary: “It’s a lot easier to to feel confident as a tall guy. It comes with many advantages.”
Mike: “If you woke up tomorrow as 6 feet 4... I have bad news: you'd find something else to be miserable about.
Harry: “Sure, but research clearly shows it’s easier to deal with these insecurities if you don’t have to worry about height on top of it.”
Mike: “I am sure there is a lot of research, and you can back up almost any claim with some study. We all have our own strengths and disadvantages.
As a tall man, I can tell you that you won't feel insecure about your height, but instead will have other insecurities. We are separate but equal.
Example 3
Dylan: “so what kind of guys do you like?”
Tina: “well he needs to be tall. Don’t get me wrong, I love short kings- well not personally, but I love that FOR them. But I’m tall myself, so I only date tall guys because short guys all have small man syndrome. I need someone on my level.”
Jake (whispering) “I think she’s the one who has tall woman syndrome.”
Jenny (also whispering) “haha, I think you mean Sasquatch Syndrome”

A man who over-compensates for a small penis, genital deficiency, unattractive body, lack of personality and/or unattractive face, by flashing cash, or purchasing expensive items that he doesn't use, in an attempt to impress others.
Bobs trophy wife says he just purchased a new Harley Davidson, but he's never rode a motorcycle before. Apparently he's hung like a cashew, and suffers from "Corvette Syndrome".

Private Account Syndrome (PRACS for short) is the delusion of being better than everybody else just because you hide behind an account that is either private or has no posts.
They usually say horrible things and slurs but have no self control as they think they are safe behind a privated account.

*User A posts an innocent video online*
*User B sees the video and comments a hateful message for no reason*
*User A reads the message and thinks: "They are so rude! Who are They to think They can say this?"*
*User A look at User B's account and finds that They have their account set to "private"
*User A responds to User B: "You think You can be rude to everyone because You're hidden away from the public! You have Private Account Syndrome."

A term that references Ike’s straightforward gameplan in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. Used to describe an overly simple or very ordinary individual.
“I did meet Robert last night, yeah. Must say, he wasn’t all that interesting.”
“True. Suffers from a little Poor Man Ike Syndrome.”
