small man syndrome 

When someone works their whole life to get a career, but fails whilst their peers succeed, and then ends up in a dead end job, usually contracts what is known as small man syndrome, which is where the complete failure takes out all of their aggression on those around them, who weren't responsible for their failures. The only one whose fault it is is the small man himself. For example, small men often like to try and act hard and smart by insulting people who they have authority over, even when they know nothing about them, and simply get information from a network of micro small men working under them. As soon as they are away from the small man they laugh at how pathetic he is and what a colossal failure he became. Small man syndrome in non-communicable, so don't worry about catching it (unless you area a failure). However, it is incredibly difficult to cure, and most of the time it is taken to the grave. Small men often like to get jobs in the police, security and teaching professions because it allows them to exercise authority on those beneath them without getting any backlash.
Small man: And you, thinking that you are going to farm your whole life, is an idiot! I have worked on 5 farms and they all went bust! And you, from what I have gathered, is just a complete fool who likes to get laughed at! And you have no respect for anyone!

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
