Answer 1

An Oedipus Word is

any word that appears in the title of a film in which Samuel L. Jackson has appeared.

Going through the ones in the question:

FICTION: Pulp Fiction
AMERICA: Coming to America
JUNGLE: Jungle Fever

BROWN: Jackie Brown
PLANE: Snakes on a Plane
REVENGE: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
VIOLIN: The Red Violin

These are called Oedipus words because

Samuel L. Jackson is famous for saying "motherf**ker", which is what Oedipus was (credit to hexomino for making the connection).
