A form of overcompensation wherein an individual, due to feelings of inferiority, formulates grandiose aspirations for future achievement despite lacking proper talent, experience, and/or personal connections. Such a person often exhibits elitism fueled by hubris and detachment from social reality.
Keith: "What's up with him? Ever since he got back from Edinburgh, he's been acting like a complete asshole."
Kraig: "His ego's gotten bigger due to an Icarus Complex. He'll crash and burn most likely."

Get the Icarus Complex mug.A complex in which a person shouts obscenities and makes weird noises whilst being in the company of no one.
Sometimes when I'm all by myself, I make really weird noises or just shout at the top of my lungs.
That's called the Will Ferrell Complex.

Get the Will Ferrell Complex mug.Question made to confuse, or befuddle someone. Can lead to universal implosion, or exploding of one's head.
If Pinocchio says, "My nose will grow now." What happens?
A great Cretan once said; "All Cretans are lyers." Is he lying or telling the truth?
These are examples of the Pinocchio Complex.

Get the Pinocchio Complex mug.Someone who believes that they are the embodiment or equivalent of Jesus Christ. These people are often known to have an over active ego as well. Said person will go around acting as if they can heal the lame and make the blind see, and in doing so, believes they are really performing "miracles". People with a Jesus Complex will often ask women if they'd like to "let Christ enter their bodies" as well. These people are considered dangerously stupid and should be approached with condemnation and extreme prejudice.
Sally - Some guy at the party last night kept asking me if I'd like to let Jesus Christ into my body, then he told me that, he, was Jesus.
Christie - Really? That guy must have a total Jesus Complex. What an asshole.

Get the Jesus Complex mug.A mindset where you think you are legendary and and godly at everything you do. Commonly found in people with bad hair and people that have a C as the first letter of their first name. And anyone with a N in the laster letter of their last name definitely has a god complex. If you have C as your first letter of your first name and N in the last letter of your last name then your god complex is deadly. Anyone with a deadly god complex will get beaten up many times for thinking they are so good. They are also infectious

Get the God Complex mug.Women ranging from 18-25 that are easy to get with, due to their need for attention from a male. Their need for attention is driven by the lack of a father figure for which they crave. Men can often take advantage of these DC individuals by acting more fatherly and controlling in a relationship. Making the girl "Easy" which can lead to sex, often on the first night.
The Daddy Complex
Example : Jenny's parents got divorced at an early age and she scarcely sees her father. Jenny looks for a man to fill the empty void in her life.
(Enter Billy) Billy while attempting to woo Jenny, uses his knowledge of (The daddy complex) to give him an advantage. By making himself seem, strong, authoritative and in a position of power can connect with her on a deeply psychological level and make her "Easy".

Get the The Daddy Complex mug.The obsession with appropriating elements from Arab and South Asian cultures, especially when one does not belong to said cultures, and using them for aesthetics.
Inspired by the 1992 Disney film Aladdin in which non Arab and non South Asian viewers are left confused about where Aladdin is actually set because white people think all brown people are the same ethnic breed and have no purpose of existence outside of fulfilling their exotic fantasies.
This fetishisation, however, is not exclusive to white people and many other PoC have fallen into it, namely East Asians.
The end result of however these cultures are abused is so bizarre and confusing it can only be described as bastardisation. What was meant to look exotic and spicy (whatever the hell that means) is now a hot mess of genie lamps and bindis.
Not the ideal melting pot.

“Did you see Blackpink’s new comeback teasers?”
“The one where they’re wearing maatha pattis and doing namaste hands?”
“Yeah what the hell was that?”
“Nasty shit, they have a bad case of the Aladdin Complex.”
