Sense of value so fragile that dominance, perceived slights, and anger, even in language is a never ending battle. You must continue to be pat on the head and have everyone around you tell you how "special" you are, how important, ney, better than everyone else you are, to shore up your fragile ego and assuage you nearly insatiable sense of anger, resentment and entitlement.

Two snaps and a headspin.

Wow, so much pent up anger. A title of a department using standard linguistic rules even has to be suspect. I guess when your life is defined by anger and resentment then everything is a bigoted boogeyman. hehe he or should I say boogeywoman, or boogeywomyn.
