Oedicorrect

When, while texting with your girlfriend, autocorrect forces you to accidentally reference your mother.

Origin: Oedipus + Autocorrect:

Oedipus - a tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled the prophecy, despite his efforts not to, that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family. When the truth was discovered, his wife hanged herself, and Oedipus gouged out his own eyes.

Later adopted by Sigmund Freud to describe a male child's unconscious desire for the exclusive love of his mother. This desire includes jealousy towards the father and the unconscious wish for that parent's death, as well as the unconscious desire for sexual intercourse with the mother.

Autocorrect - spelling correction mechanism on mobile devices.
Her: I made some delicious cookies!
You: (intending to write "mmmmm"): momma!
Her: ...
You: that was Oedicorrect again, I swear!
