Oedipus Rex

A euphemism for motherfucker, along the lines of sugar honey iced tea, since Oedipus literally was a mother fucker (and a father killer).

Oedipus Complex

The psychological disorder where a son falls in love with his mother.

"I heard he has pictures of his mother naked...he must have an Oedipus Complex."

inter-oedipus

A phenology in which the son and father are sexually synchronous and externalize their attraction to each other cacophonously by fighting over the son's mother (oedipal conflict).

The inter-oedipal conflict is resolved amicably if the son shares his own reproductive partner with his father.

Also called the anti-oedipus.

The inter-oedipus is the spectral superset of the oedipus.

It can be resolved resonantly or dissonant ly.

The inter-oedipal narrative propounds that misogyny is the result of the father and son externalizing their mutual attraction to each other into a mutual attraction to the son's mother.

reverse Oedipus complex

The origin of gay men according to Freud - it works like the Oedipus complex but the other way around, i.e. little boys want to fuck daddy and kill mummy. Supposedly arises in all little boys, and develops into homosexuality when it's stronger than its hetero inverse.

Peter Mandelson probably had a reverse Oedipus complex as a kid.
