Horatio Caine 

Simply the coolest investigator in Miami, Horatio Caine is more than a man, he is a way of life with five basic rules:

1. Stand with Hands on hips
2. Place sunglasses on for dramatic effect, then remove them, and repeat (applicable inside as well as out)
3. Never fully address people by looking them in the eye, you're too cool for that.
4. Have a dramatic pause in your speech.
5. Shoot first/45 Degree turn/walk out of camera frame.

This is taken from the fact that in every episode of CSI MIAMI, Horatio will do most of these things, and is a badass at being cool. It all works by combining the first four in the first few minutes of CSI MIAMI, in which Horatio will give a witty one-liner about a dead body. Afterwhich abruptly comes in the WHO "We don't get fooled again"'s scream of YEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HORATIO CAINE: "You don't spend a thousand dollars on clothes... that you're never gonna wear..."

YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "What are you going to do?"

HORATIO "I... am going to get to the truth."

YEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YELINA: "this time it was in a public place."

HORATIO: "So they brought the war to us and we..."
Horatio turns 45 degrees.
HORATIO: "Are gonna take it to them."

YEEEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "It means we got a drive by."

Horatio puts sunglasses on
HORATIO: "Drive by... Miami Style."

YEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "The Jury only had one week before deliberations"

HORATIO: "No need now... the verdict is in."

YEEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "They call it speed dating. Only cause our victim had 15 dates."

HORATIO: "You know what they say Frank... Speed kills."

YEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ALEX: "You don't fall three storeys get up and run away."

Horatio puts sunglasses on.
HORATIO: "You do... (looks up) If you've got something to hide."

YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH

COLEMAN: "I don't remember anything."

HORATIO: "Okay, listen um... I don't want you to worry about it Mr. Coleman... because I..."
Horatio puts sunglasses on.
HORATIO: "I'll be you're memory."

YEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "Friends say she came to drink mojitas and catch some sun."

HORATIO: "Well it looks like..."
Horatio puts sunglasses on.
HORATIO: "something... caught her."

YEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HORATIO: "So we had a victim who started the week big man on campus... and ended it... dead on arrival."

YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "No matter how you cut it, Horatio, divorce sucks."

HORATIO: "Frank..."
Horatio puts sunglasses on.
HORATIO: "it's a killer."

YYYEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "She was caught in the cross fire."

HORATIO: "That's what happens when worlds collide."

YEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FRANK: "It was a mob hit, Horatio."

Horatio puts sunglasses on
HORATIO: "Yes, and it's time to hit back."

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

FRANK: "The verdicts in."

HORATIO: "The verdict is in..."
Horatio puts on sunglasses.
HORATIO: "...but the jury is out."

YEEEEEEAAHHHHHHHH

GRINGO: "Lieutenant Caine."

HORATIO: "You help me, and I'll help you."

GRINGO: "You're already dead brother."

Horatio shoots the Gringo dead.

HORATIO: "Join the club."

YYYEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Honourable mentions:

1. Horatio gets in bomb-armed SUV, and with four minutes to spare, drives to the beach, takes off his sunglasses. Steps out and, slowly, walks away from the SUV. As he places his sunglasses on, the SUV explodes into a massive ball of fire and rubble. And Horatio says, "Burn, baby, burn."

2. Horatio steps out from an ambulance, as three hitmen has been sent to kill him, as he emerges from behind the ambulance, he shoots two hitmen before they can open fire, the third runs away. As one lays in agony he tries to raise his gun.

Horatio calmly instructs, "Stay down..."
The guy doesn't listen.
Horatio, repeats, "stay down."
The guy doesn't listen.

And without even looking at the guy, Horatio shoots him, while continuing his walk.

3. In the Season 5 Premier, RIO, in slow motion and to the song "We Don't Get Fooled Again" by the Who (also the shows theme but extended for this version) Horatio shanks Riaz, in cold blood. Coolest. Murder. Ever.

Horatio-Caining 

To say something deeply underwhelming in a profound way and immediately following the statement with a melodramatic gesture; not unlike how in all the show's opening scenes, CSI: Miami's lead character Horatio Caine (played by David Caruso) usually makes an anticlimactic statement, slowly slides his aviator sunglasses on, and looks off into the distance.
That guy is always Horatio-Caining any chance he gets! He's always waiting for the right moment to drop a single sentence he's been sitting on all class and then to slowly take off his glasses and stare out the window.
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.
What a fucking nerd neck!

He is building so fast, nerd neck!

Looser more like a nerd neck ha!

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...
