Reverse Chihuahua Effect 

A chihuahua is a little animal that makes a big noise. So in the "Reverse Chihuahua Effect", it is a big animal making a small noise.

When one tries to be meek. When physically, they are not.

When you are surprised that a meek noise comes from a large or imposing object.
When a big fat person is sneezing and makes a cute little "achoo" sound, you mention to your friend "Damn, that's some 'reverse chihuahua effect' going on".

chihuahua mentality 

Also known as the small dog mentality; A shorter individual who is exceptionally loud and aggressive - usually to taller people - due to insecurities about being short and presumptions about the tall person judging this.

This can be commonly observed in the animal world; e.g. the way a small dog reacts with a larger one.
