Tight Artist

A turn of phrase coined by The Tight Arts Appreciation Society used to describe a person who is a veritable expert in the art of frugality.

A play on words, it acts to quash the stigma attached to a person who would normally be referred to in a vulgar manner as a tight arse. The word arse in this instance, is changed to arts – a phonetical similarity yet with an intentionally stark reference in meaning. Unlike the personal traits of a Tight Arse, the Tight Artist’s sparing and economical ways are celebrated and revered. It is a hearty attempt to upturn the negative connotations attached to those who are thrifty.

Through this process of destigmatisation, a Tight Artist, by definition, becomes a person who saves money in creative ways. This is a rather more pleasing and palatable definition in comparison to that of the vulgarly named tight arse – someone disliked for being tight, stingy or miserly with their money.

A Tight Artist is not stingy. Just savvy. Because saving money is an artform.

"Wow, Greg! That's a great savings idea. You are a true Tight Artist! Thanks."

How did you afford that? Man - You're obviously a Tight Artist. I wish I could be smarter with my money.

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...
