Greta Thunberg Shuts Down Andrew Tate With 'Small Dick Energy' Tweet. Here's What It Actually Means

The phrase is often used to describe people who are insecure and cover it up with masculinity and hollow swagger.

Teen environment activist Greta Thunberg of Sweden hit back at controversial American-British social media personality Andrew Tate for his tweet about his collection of "33 cars" and their "enormous emissions". Tate's tweet was met with a savage reply from Thunberg who said she would like to know more about them and for that Andrew Tate can mail her at "smalldickenergy@getalife.com". 

Thunberg's reply to Tate drew huge response from Twitter users who affirmed their support for the climate activist. The post has garnered 2.5 million views so far.

Soon after this, Tate went into a meltdown, posting more hateful tweets.

On December 27, Tate had tagged Thunberg and tweeted, “Hello @GretaThunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions."

Thunberg responded saying, "yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com."

What Is Small Dick Energy?

So what is small dick energy? The term refers to a person’s attitude rather than anything to do with any part of their body. The phrase is often used to describe people who are insecure and cover it up with masculinity and hollow swagger to make others feel inferior.

In the words of 'sex and relationship coach' Ness Cooper, as told to Metro.co.uk, the phrase 'small dick energy' often refers to toxic masculinity, "where an individual is seen to talk up their masculinity as a way to look better than others and to make others feel inferior".

An uncle who hasn’t made much of his own life and hence tries to control younger people around him may also define the term.

The opposite of it is 'big dick energy' that comes from maturity and experience. It is used to describe someone with a relaxed confidence in themselves. They are not shy or quiet, but they are not arrogant either. It’s about being assured, confident, at ease with yourself.

Origin Of The Phrase

Though the origin of the word is not known, the term 'big dick energy' was widely used in 2018 after Ariana Grande reportedly tweeted (and hastily deleted) about how generously endowed her [now ex-]fiancé Pete Davidson was.

Though Grande deleted the tweet, the damage was done and Twitter was abuzz with talk about Davidson.

“Pete Davidson is 6’3 with dark circles, exudes big dick energy, looks evil but apparently is an angel, and loves his girl publicly  the only thing wrong w him is that he’s a scorpio but anyway…..id married him within a month too.” wrote a woman named Tina.

This is when the word became an instant hit on the internet. Social media users spent hours discussing which famous figures and fictional characters have big dick energy and who lack it.
