Sometimes you get a five foot nothing bully with the soul of a 9 foot 10 ogre, which is the same thing as goliath, except this kind of bully thinks everyone else is goliath.
Goliath keeps calling me goliath, when really he/she is trying to take over towns he/she isn't from like Napoleon.

Get the Goliath mug.When someone with size, power, or privilege acts arrogant, entitled, or dismissive toward people they see as “smaller” or “weaker.” Often used for those who ignore their own habit of bullying, belittling, or overestimating themselves just because of their height or status.
Tall dude: “Haha, you’ve got a Napoleon Complex.”
Short dude: “Nah, sounds like you’ve got a Goliath Complex.”
