complex

A system of representation, usually formalistic.

Characterized by having a discrete side usually a discrete end.

The attributive (adjectival) use of "complex" is identical to its functional (nominal) use.
A complex usually has a discrete end but no discrete beginning. Quantum mechanics is an archetypal example of a complex system. Musical notations are an example of a complex system that has a discrete beginning but no discrete end.

Terminal complexity

The maximum attainable level of complexity of a system, device, etc.

Any attempt to increase complexity after this level is reached results in a partial or complete destruction of the system.
Our software, apparently, reached terminal complexity - every time we try to add a new feature, everything breaks.

Barney Complex

The Barney complex refers to people who have an undeserved sense of privilege and overly inflated ego and have nothing to back it up. It all goes back to that purple dinosaur we all watched on PBS as kids. Everyday he told everyone that you're special, and that Sally was special. and that Sam was also special. Well kids, lets face it....we're not all special. Get over yourself.
Sally is complaining about being under appreciated at work again, I wish she'd get over her Barney complex and just do her work.

God Complex.

Having a “God Complex” mindset basically means you think EXTREMELY highly of your self. You think your the “chosen one” and you are superior to other and everyone else is below you.
You can use the character Light Yagami from Death Note as an example. He’s an great example for the term God Complex.

Biddy-Bro Complex

Biddy's are dumbass bitches who skankily nab shitty alcohol from others. Bros can be described as the male-biddy, except they provide the alcohol and often engage in bro rape. The two generally party together, and have a distinct lust for music like Dave Matthews Band and the song Sexy Bitch.

As a result, the Biddy-Bro Complex is characterized by not thinking or forming independent conclusions. The lack of individual thought is a direct result of near-constant alcohol consumption.
States like New Jersey, Texas, and Connecticut are plagued by the Biddy-Bro Complex. Try finding a town in these states without 6 malls and several warehouses full of natty lite.
