What is the Napoleon complex?

The Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people who are physically short.

(usually it doesnt work which then pisses the person off even more). 2. When someone (usually a male) has a lack of confidence in themselves, usually physically (i.e. small penis) and tries to cover this up by acting tough, talking smack to others, and being extravagant in their spending habits (such as buying/driving big 12 inch-lifted trucks, etc.).

What is 'Small Man syndrome?

It's a largely debunked theory that men who are short feel driven to accomplish more than other men in order to "prove their worth". Napoleon Bonaparte is commonly cited as an example. However, Napoleon wasn't actually short by the standards of his time: his height was, naturally enough, reported in French units, which makes him sound short: 5'2" in French units is about 5'6" in English units, which in 18th Century Europe was right around average height. It also didn't help that Napoleon surrounded himself with his Elite Guard, most of whom were well over six feet tall, making himself look short by comparison.
