Nephson

The term that best describes Hamlet in Shakespeare's play, Hamlet. His father's brother married his mother, making his Uncle Claudius now his father. This means that Hamlet is both a nephew, and a son, or nephson.

Derrick: "Did you read Act 1 Scene 2 of Hamlet last night?"
Mark: "Yea, Claudius' nephson is going crazy. I guess that's what happens when your uncle marries your mom,"
