DH used to say I'd seen every penis in this town. (I worked in OR for 20 years) But the guys were all under anesthesia so I can't contribute to this conversation. But the Napoleon thing (I call it SMS) I know for sure it is true.

I think you are being a bit ridiculous, just to be ridiculous. Although I don't subscribe to the dumb blonde analogy, you can't help but wonder why a guy needs certain "toys" or "objects" to make himself feel superior to others. I'm willing to bet that if we studied blondes, we'd find no correlation to hair color, boob size and intelligence, but I'd be willing to bet a TON that if we studied guys who had to certain "Toys" or attitudes about those toys, you'd find some hint of inferiority in there somewhere.
My husband has a big truck, too. It's a diesel so it's also loud. He doesn't drive it like it's an extension of himself. He doesn't decorate it like he's trying to prove a point. I'm willing to bet with some of the guys who do, it has nothing to do with the ACTUAL size of his dick, but how he thinks people perceive him.
why do women need certain purses or shoes? Does it say they are compensating for something? Why is this a men vs. women thing? I would definitely say that some women who need certain material items are absolutely compensating for something. Perhaps she grew up poor and now that she's a lawyer she wants people to know she has money so she buys Louis Vitton and Christian Louboutin. My point is that, yes, a lot of times men who are displaying that type of behavior DO feel inferior and that's how they compensate for it. Nowhere in any of my posts did I say women weren't susceptible as well. Geesh.

These types of insults, to my way of thinking, are simply crass and unseemly. Some use them as a badge of honor showing how forthright and "tell 'em like it is" they are. B
I find it boring and predictable.

My husband has an old Bronco that we completly fixed up and use for our summer fun vehicle. It is lifted up, and it has a custom paint job. I like to drive it, and the comments I get from other people are sometimes astounding!
One of my favorites was one time I was walking toward the Bronco in the parking lot and there were two women walking together ahead of me. They were talking rather loudly and as they passed by the Bronco they said "that guy must have a small one!" I loudly said "I suppose I do have a small one, but my husband size totally makes up for it." Both women turned bright red and started stammering and muttering something, I just laughed and got in.
The most awkward comment was when I brought my son to preschool one day. I parked and was getting out, when another family pulled up beside me. It was just the dad, and as I was getting out, he leaned over and said "nice ride, you look way more fun than my wife!" as he winked at me! It was the beginning of the year, and I always felt awkward whenever I saw him.
For us, we have it as a fun vehicle to drive, and it reminds us of when we were dating. We don't feel superior to anyone for having it. To be fair, we definitely do not have anything hanging from the back, nor do we have obnoxious sayings or bumper stickers.

peatlejuice where on the small penis spectrum would you place the guy in your avatar? Lol...I place him on the giant brass balls side, because only a man with big ones would allow himself to be photographed like that! :-)

That doesn't bother me nearly as much as women calling other women pussies. I mean, why would a woman want to feed that particular derogatory dragon.

I once saw a bumper sticker that read, "Nice truck. Sorry about your small penis." I laughed so hard. We refer to the lifted, redneck looking trucks as teeny pee pee trucks, and if they are particularly obnoxious, they are innie peepee trucks lol. Yes, it's immature, but it's still funny to us.

Funnily enough I have just been watching Look North, a local news programme and they showed pictures of some eejit who was photo'd cycling naked through the Chatsworth estate. One of the reporters commented that there was no need for a thermometer to confirm that it had been a cold day. The other reporters couldn't finish the piece for laughing. I wouldn't normally quote myself, but I knew you would all be dying to see a picture of this Adonis. You got a front view - oh man! I only saw the back view on Villager Jim's Fb site. That was quite enough for me! LOL

Well if anyone is being immature, it's those who feel the need to start and/or contribute to a passive-aggressive thread to call out "certain posters" from past threads - instead of just confronting those posters at the time.
Say what you mean or don't bother.

I can't help but feel when you are driving a vehicle like this that you are compensating for something: Those weren't common where I used to live, and men with Corvettes were labelled as compensating. I suppose most of the men are just having fun with a toy. I hate to think my Honda stereotypes me as a practical suburban mom... Oh wait...!

Say what you mean or don't bother. Obviously I disagree. If this had been an isolated thing that only one person did I'd either ask via PM or just shrug it off. But it is common enough on this board that I wanted to see a discussion.

Went back to my OP. not sure how it would be passive aggressive or how I was evading the topic. Seemed pretty clear and succinct to me.

I would say I am compensating for lack of good judgment When I got into the store in question it was a NEED to buy something there. It was an absolute need. Whatever that means I have no idea. I was compelled to buy.

It's passive-aggressive to me because you didn't just state your disagreement at the time a comment was made. Instead, you've essentially invited everyone with an axe to grind to pile on and say how immature/crass/etc. these unnamed past posters are, without the context of the actual threads.
Rather than prevaricating, I'll admit to having used this particular turn of phrase in reference to the guys who paraded around with their semi-automatic rifles in a heavily populated area to demonstrate their support of (not yet legal at that time) open carry in Texas. Whether they're compensating for an actual small penis or just low self esteem, a need for attention, or something else, I don't know. But as someone else said above, saying that someone is compensating, or that a particular object represents the big penis they'd like to have, is a widely accepted metaphor for the fact that they're making an unnecessarily large display of power or wealth, usually to cover some feeling of inadequacy.
And that's what I would have said if you had asked me at the time of the thread.

But it wasn't just that thread.
My question was one that I wanted to be answered in general. Not for a specific context.
But whatever, I'm not accepting your wrist slap, lol. I don't see anything wrong with asking about why people use that phrase and thinking it should go away.

That's fine. I'll just go on thinking that men who feel the need to wave their big guns around in public are compensating for ... something.

Aa for thinking it should go away? Good luck with that!

why do women need certain purses or shoes? Does it say they are compensating for something? A sense of fashion? That's what I am going with. I have a bunch of shoes and purses because I have a bunch of clothes that they need to compliment.

If you are going to assign motive to someone's preferences (aka big trucks or guns), why can't the same be attaches to the female version?

Because I can't see their $900 purse when they cut me off in traffic. Seriously though, I think that people who purchase really expensive things don't necessarily see them as extravagant. I think that it is more a question of disposable income. When I made $25,000 a year, I probably paid $10 for my purses and was thrilled with them. When I made more money, I bought better things, including purses.

If you are going to assign motive to someone's preferences (aka big trucks or guns), why can't the same be attaches to the female version? Exactly. It must mean that her husband is cheating on her because she sucks in bed. She's trying to show off how perfect her world is. Or maybe she's compensating for how terrible she is as a mother. She can't keep her kids in line but damn it to hell, she'll have a great looking purse. Why can't it be that a man simply enjoys hunting, guns, boats, trucks? I think the period:bad mood example was a great comparison. And again, how would you know that someone with a fondness for guns has a small penis unless you've personally examined them all? Those that use the phrase are of course able to make whatever assumptions they like. I'll simply assume they lack the intelligence to make a rational argument.

Isn't that why you buy a purse? It is the right size and you like the way it looks? What about those kids who put the giant speakers in their vehicles that I can hear 3 lanes over. Do they have lds? I wonder about people who have to have perfect interior decorating. Are they compensating for something? Am I when I wear my devils horns and put them on my car when I go to the devils game (yes is the answer to that portion of the question btw :l ) Just because it isn't for me, I wonder why it always has to be lds. Except the hanging balls. Or the Calvin pissing on something stickers.

I'm curious what body part on a female you pick to insult? Your boobs are flabby? You labia hangs low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot...... Sorry..... ROFL (oh my!) I am so glad I didn't read this at work today! That might be too hard [ahem] to explain on the first day of a new job..

But he does have a big truck. Now, I picked out the truck for his birthday present last year. It was a complete surprise to him. Before that he either drove a Camry or the minivan. I guess his big truck means that his penis shrunk the day he turned 49? Imagine that surprise in the shower - to go your whole life driving some foreign sedan, having a normal penis and then, BOOM! step into a domestic truck and your dick shrinks! LOL LOL, I really laughed at that!! But I have to admit, I am guilty of using the insult. In fact, I used it just the other day on Facebook, and yes it was in relation to the hunter who killed Cecil. I thinks it's kinda funny, and certainly gets the point across. Now THIS, on the other hand...... I also despise when men say "must have her period" if a woman isn't being all sunshine and roses. ....... bugs the everloving CRAP out of me! I guess I'm nothing if not inconsistent.

If a person has to buy a pair of balls to hang off their truck, I automatically think they don't have a pair of their own.
What's next, a breasts for the front of the vehicle? Interchangeable bras or pasties? Women gotta keep up, you know.
