Goliath Complex 

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.”
