The Carnegie Pulse 

As Carnegie Mellon's first exclusively online student-run news source, The Carnegie Pulse aims to bring high-quality, relevant news and opinions to the fingertips of students, faculty, and staff.

First and foremost, the Pulse is committed to factual, objective reporting. We strive to represent the interests of Carnegie Mellon's on- and off-campus community, and commit ourselves to treating writers and readers with great respect. The Pulse is free from sensationalism and bias, and though we are officially recognized by the University, we are independently financed and motivated.

With frequent postings, the Pulse will keep readers up to date with campus and community news. We encourage readers to submit their feedback, so that we can best respond to their needs and interests. We see our online forum as an appropriate means for communicating with such a technologically advanced university.

The Pulse is also designed to be a useful experience for aspiring journalists. Contributors will be required to meet deadlines and will receive regular feedback from readers, editors, and other members of writing-related fields. Still, writers will have a strong voice in the final presentation of their articles, and will be aware of any factual or stylistic corrections as they are made, ensuring their creative control.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
