To return to an appallingly bad movie, after you have done your time and pronounced yourself rehabilitated.

No-It-All

A person whose reflex is to refuse, dispute, and oppose everything.
No, she did not want any chocolate, no, she did not need any more shoes, no, she did not have time to take a trip, and she already had three pale pink sweaters, so thank you but no. He saw she was a total no-it-all. And the day he stopped offering would be the day she'd change her tune and accuse him of being a know-it-all.

woemanizer

A man who tries to overcome his sorrow and grief with an unending string of women.
Everyone judged him for the number of women who came into and out of his life. It felt to be the only way he could banish his unremitting woe, from losses and pain he could never share. He was a woemanizer, and he alone understood why.

retroscopic

Events or moments from a seemingly-remote past, almost beyond the reach of memory.

Faust or Famine

A deal with the Devil, made by many Americans feeling deprived of their 'freedom', to mingle in public in the midst of a pandemic.
