Let me guess, you never realized what Oedipa Mass sounds like when spoken aloud, nor did you realize what Orfamay Quest sounds like either

Eat Up My Ass? What the fuck is it supposed to sound like?

No idea. That part was incomprehensible to me too. The book goes off the deep end at the end, in a funny way though. There’s a website with Recognitions annotations, might tell you more. I just went with it

He thinks it sounds like head up my ass. Ignore him, he's retarded.

They're pretty obvious references, no need to even say them aloud. Oedipa refers to Oedipus and Orfamay refers to Orpheus.

Oh I finished the book. I was just thinking back to the book. The ending is fucking hilarious. The bread, especially dying, the church.
