small problem problem

A problem, especially one encountered in large organizations, that is smaller in scale than can easily be fixed with the large-scale tools on hand, leading to great life-is-too-short frustration with one's inability to immediately solve it. For example: you need $7 more than you thought to pay for the lunch just delivered for your office meeting, which can be paid for only in cash, but to obtain petty cash you must fill out three different forms and get two managerial approvals. Or, you need to swat a fly, but all you have is a sledgehammer.
Mark: Unbelievable, I just want to put this birthday card in the outgoing office mail, but I asked Ted if it was OK, and he says I have to fill out an MC-1453 "Request for Personal-Use Policy Exception" form and get two signatures. I thought that was only for, like, taking a company car or using a conference room for some nonbusiness reason.

JoAnn: Small problem problem, dude. I'd just slip it in there and move on, life's too short.

Small Penis Syndrome

Another way of referring to a fragile ego. SPS is not necessarily correlated with penis size; a man with a massive penis can have SPS, and a man with a tiny penis may not have SPS.

Small Penis Syndrome is what insecure people have; they often compare themselves to others way too much, and get angry when they are not the best at something, in the same way that someone might get angry if they don't have the biggest penis. They often overcompensate for their insecurities with big trucks, large houses, massive muscles, and fat bank accounts. This is not to say that people with those things have SPS, but often people with SPS try to attain those things as items of what a 'successful' person looks like.
"That guy has a gigantic truck with insane exhaust on it, he's probably overcompensating for his small penis syndrome."
