John : "We might as well take the short cut over the ice rink to get to the park. Walking around that SOB will take forever!"

Oscar: "Nah, man. I had a couple of six packs for lunch and my balance isn`t all that right now. On the other hand, it is a lot faster than walking around. Should we? What if I fall and break my ass?!!"

Ambivalent Right 

Ambivalent Right (noun):

A political group primarily leaning Republican but holding mixed or moderate views on certain social issues, immigration, and foreign policy.

Characterized by alignment with core conservative values on government size, regulation, and economics, while showing more progressive stances on topics like abortion and same-sex marriage.

Often younger and more ethnically diverse than other GOP groups, the Ambivalent Right expresses dissatisfaction with both major political parties, reflecting a complex blend of conservatism with nuanced social views.
I live in the Deep South, but I voted purple on the ballot sheet. I want small government and support abortion for medical purposes. I’m conservative, but agree with some Democrat ideologies. I suppose this makes me ambivalent right.

Ambivalent 

having or showing simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings toward something or someone

this ones for the half in and half outs, the ones who want the Chase even when they knOw the route.

have you ever read something and left impressed but uNsure of the meaninG? peRplexed if you’ve been condoned or condemned? it mAy be written by someone who is ambivalenT. It's a word marked for someone indecisive, for whatever reason that may be. sometimes they know what they want bUt are apprehensive toward following through or other times they genuineLy are unsure. either way, their lAck of communicaTion often leaves those around them decIphering and cOnfused. Those who are ambivalent are far from immoral people though – i’d say a murder definitely knows what they want. some ambivalent people are even creative, thoughtful, and comedic.

An example would be a migrant, who has rarely been cut any slack in the couNtryside of mexico, choosing to emigrate into the uS. however, upon reaching tijuana, they feel the feels of the scary unknown in san diego confLicting with the home and cultUre they have always known. one way to deteCt ambivalent people is by their delaYed or mixed responses, or their focus on how a message was delivered (mail to the meth capital of the world isn’t cheap) instead of the message itself.

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...
