Lanette. You’re the one who said it, so you get to explain it.
Honestly, Bill, you’ve joked about the more colorful parts of the internet multiple times, and this is where you draw the line? It means “something related to the Oedipus complex.” “Oedipus complex,” for those of you who don’t know, is the idea that some people want to have intimate relations with one of their parents, usually their mother. Although we could get into whether or not Freud, who coined this term, is at all credible, the point is that the term “oedipal” means “anything related to the idea of wanting to date your parents.” —LH
