tall man syndrome 

Tall man syndrome is when you show of in front of people younger or smaller than you.
I could kick your ass im stronger than you.
That's tall man syndrome.

Tall Man Syndrome 

Opposite of Small Man Syndrome. It is where tall men (probably over 5'12) who have probably done nothing in their life except be dicks and failures to society, are seen as superior by either some people or themselves. This is in spite of figures like Napoleon Bonaparte, who conquered a lot of Europe, was only around 5'6-5'7.

While shorter men doing great things might be seen as compensating, that is much better than someone with Tall Man Syndrome as someone with this affliction does nothing at all except disappoint everyone, especially women in bed.

There are two kinds of people in this spectrum. One does great things like lead England and the allies through World War 2 and being a distinguished historical figure, while the other got genetically lucky and nothing else.
"Damn. Look man, I may be short, but I can actually pay my rent on time and hold a relationship. You suffer from Tall Man Syndrome! A big case of it too!"

Short Man: "I just conquered half of Europe!"
Random person: "You are probably just compensating."
Short Man: "Maybe. How's (Insert Tall Man)? Still crying in his parents basement?"

Tall Poppy Syndrome 

"If I can't be special, NO ONE CAN!!"

Basically when someone tries to put a moral spin on their jealousy of other people's successes. But in the end, jealousy is ALL that it is. They will claim that someone may be "too good for everyone else" when they just want to bring the successful down to their pathetic level.
"I can't believe that Sandra inherited all that money. Now she thinks she's too good for us."

"Dude... If you're just gonna show off your Tall Poppy Syndrome all day, I'm out of here. I have no time for jealous, self-serving bullshit."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
