'cannot stand tall?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'troubled soul dear parisian' is the wordplay.
'troubled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dear parisian' becomes 'cher' ('dear' in French).
'soul' with letters rearranged gives 'slou'.
'slou'+'cher'='SLOUCHER'

'who' is the link.
