wave someone in another one's face
and now you're trying to make my jealous by waving Edward R. Moron in my face?
This is a line cited from How I Met Your Mother S1 E20. I just feel confused about the phrase "wave someone in another one's face". Could you tell me what it means? And that if you told me that who Edward R. Moron is would be better!
