The cross used for an uncommon form of crucifixion. Rarely seen in any period in history other than the Middle Ages, and even then it was uncommon. The form for the Cross is not actually a cross at all. Rather, it is a square shape, modified depending on the height of the person being crucified. Within the square are three beams. One is horizontal, and goes directly across the middle of the square. The other two are placed diagonally, forming an “X” shape. The victim is placed spread eagle on the Cross, and his arms and legs are nailed onto the beams. A long, usually wood, pole is beneath the Cross, which allows a person or persons to carry the Cross around with them, displaying the victim around the place where he was being executed. The victim was still alive as the people were hauling him across town, and other citizens were allowed to spit, insult, and otherwise degrade the offender. The normal cause of death, just as in normal crucifixion, was suffocation.
Being nailed to Tivadar's Cross is one of the most humiliating forms of capital punishment known to man.

The psychological term coined by Sigmund Freud named after the mythical king of Thebes and the legend based around him. In Greek myth, Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, but without knowledge that either were his parents. Freud's theory proclaimed that, at an unconscious level, a male's sexual preference would be based around the actions and personality of his mother. The male child would also feel extreme animosity towards his father, again at an unconscious level. The phenomenon in females is called the Electra Complex.
The Oedipus Complex is not a group of condos in Coconut Grove, Miami, but rather the explanation that, no matter what you do, it always has to do with you secretly wanting to fuck your mother.

A state of complete and total understanding. Used primarily in Buddhism. A person undergoes a series of reincarnations, gaining knowledge and learning lessons for each. With each reincarnation, one gains or loses an amount of karma, or magical force. Once one has received a specific amount of karma, he is able to break away from the cycle of reincarnations, and enter the state of being known as nirvana. Those who have reached such a state are considered buddhas, in honor of the religion's founder, Siddhartha, or the Buddha.

A method of grading, originally instituted by Patrick Moran. It is not based on the 100-point system, but rather on a point per question on a particular assignment, project, or examination. For each incorrect answer, a "point," or letter grade, is taken off of the final grade. For example, a 25/25 would be an A+, a 24/25 would be an A, a 23/25 would be an A-, etc. The grade can go below the normal F standard. The next letter grade after F would be, "G." Usually, it stops there, mainly due to the fact that no one has ever gotten below a "G" grade. The system is rarely used due to its extreme nature, and when used by the teacher, it is only conducted on very rare occasions.
"My teacher believes in Moranism. She told us that it makes us work harder. Now that I got our first test back, I agree with her."
