eHermit

Someone who only communicates with the outside world via online tools like IRC, IM, Skype, email and forums.

Unlike a traditional hermit, an eHermit may have many "friends" but an eHermit will have met very few, if any of them, in real life (IRL).

The online comedy duo Rhett and Link claim credit for having coined the term during their podcast in early 2008.

Dude, you need to unplug! You're turning into some kind of eHermit!

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...
