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”
John: *has an opinion Rudy doesn’t like*

Get the Sasquatch Syndrome mug.when living in a small place whether its physical or in your mind.
When you get reminded a few times week that this situation your in is whack but you try to justify that by digging for good memories and presenting good evidence. But then you meet people living in this small place and they ar only holding you back and make you sad,depressed and you feel a itchy feeling of discomfort because you suspicions are confirmed thats back of your head. Also when predicting the future you only have to take a look at older siblings or village legends and you get instantly turned of. Best regards Ibrahim k.

Person 1: Man, AVGN is shit nowadays!
Person 2: No, really, it isn't, the humors as funny as ever, and so many great episodes have come out in the modern AVGN era. Hong Kong 97, Seaman, Life of Black Tiger...
Person 1: B-But, everyone else thinks so!
Person 2: No, actually. Look at the most liked comments on any video and you will see that they are all positive. Seems like a case of Simpsons Syndrome, eh?

Get the Warr Syndrome mug.Like the stranger but happens when your heart is broken. Happens when you fall asleep on your arm, then rub it out first thing in the morning so it feels like old times. But you can't finish and it's as limp as old celery.
I tried to rub it out, but my dick was Takotsuboed.
They diagnosed me with Takotsubo syndrome and said my dick is sad.
