Normal Knowledge

A mysterious body of knowledge, usually related to the relationships between men and women, that some say is denied them.

First discovered on a relationship forum in late 2010 / early 2011; a young man insisted that forum members were blocking him from acquiring "normal knowledge" of relationships. When queried about the nature of this knowledge, said young man refused to answer, resorting to an annoying repetition of "Why are you denying me normal knowledge?!?"

I want to know why you say I should just go out on a date, instead of sitting here on the forum asking questions?!? What do you mean? Why are you denying me normal knowledge?

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...
