sufferiority 

A combination of superiority and inferiority, with an extra 'f' to convey the suffering it causes. The term describes a sense of pride and exceptionalism that is mixed with feelings of shame and inadequacy. Term coined by phychotherapist and author Charlotte Fox Weber in her book 'What We Want: A Journey Through Twelve of our Deepest Desires'.
"I believe I have something special, something extraordinary to offer, but I don't feel I am worthy of expressing it. I'm trapped in sufferiority."

"Caught in the grip of sufferiority, we can avoid addressing what matters deeply to us."

Superiority Complex

Having the need to feel superior than others by means of intelligence, athleticism, or any other measurable trait.
Caroline always corrects my grammar when we're talking online. Her superiority complex is so annoying and unnecessary because anyone could understand the point I'm trying to convey, but she still goes to the extremes of addressing the smallest of errors. :v

Sean always talks about the plays he made while playing football, even when trying to compliment others for their play. It's just a natural superiority complex that he has, where he feels the need to boast about himself in order to feel accomplished.

Superiority Complex

A Superiority Complex is the belief that one holds some value (societal or monetary) over another and acts as if they were born from a golden womb. Superiority Complexes are often seen in low-income neighborhoods when a member of the community gains more capital than their neighbors, and is most commonly associated with upper-middle and 'upper' class members of society.

While often involving tradable goods or currency, Superiority Complexes can also stem from sexism and IS NOT limited to either sex. Anyone can be uppity, snooty, snobbish, or pretentious. It doesn't fucking matter where you come from or what you were born as.
Man 1: "Dude, I just got these new work boots and they're pretty comfy."

Man 2: "Same here! I got Red Wings; what did you get?"

Man 1: "Just some Sketchers, but the memory foam-"

Man 2: "Uh, you might want to spend a little more next time, bud."

Man 1: "Why?"

Man 2: "Only the fashion-blind and poor wear Sketchers."

Man 1: "... The fuck? Does it really matter? You need to drop that Superiority Complex."

Superiority Complex

Superiority complex refers to a subconscious neurotic mechanism of compensation developed by the individual as a result of feelings of inferiority.

The feelings of inferiority in this specific complex are often brought on by social rejection, possibly as a result of the individual's inattentiveness to hygiene, appearance, or lower intelligence as compared to others.

Meta-status Superiority 

The superiority one feels when they post a status on Facebook complaining about how bad other statuses are.

Whilst such a meta-status often attracts many likes because many people agree, it is becoming an increasingly popular trend for people who think that they are clearly better than those who post depressing and emotional statuses onto Facebook.

Such statuses are known to often contain the words "emo", "depressing", "life story" and "stop complaining". May also contain other Facebook elements such as 'likes' or 'inboxing'.
A real life, copy pasted example of a meta-status: "I do not come on Facebook to read your diary or your life story, nor do I come on here to read your pointless statuses every half an hour and NO I don't want to like for a like or an inbox.. Give it a rest!" Here, the user clearly feels a sense of meta-status superiority.

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.
