insultation period 

In a corporate setting, when making staff redundant, there is a legal requirement to pretend that the proposed staff cuts are merely being considered, and have not formally been decided on. There is a gap of several weeks “consultation period” between the announcement and the actual redundancies taking effect. During this period people who are about to be summarily executed get several weeks to be repeatedly asked how they “feel about the changes”. Since this “consultancy” is entirely fictitious, and is in fact a patronising artefact of gormless corporate stupidity , it is more accurately referred to as the “insultation period”.
Fuck me, I’ve just been made redundant after 10 years service! I just have to endure the insultation period for the next 2 weeks, but then I bring in the wheelbarrow to pick up my payout!_

Insultation

An alternative form to the noun of 'insult', mainly to be used when one feels creative and would like to come off as being more smart than they actually are. Taken after 'accumulation', 'confiscation', etc.
"This insultation definition lacks creativity, it's just an insultation of an insultation."

Insultation

Congratulations, but in a very insulting way.
The tech lead just received 7 awards to her name. Everyone on the Board of Directors congratulated her, but she's still struggling to pay rent on her 600 sqft apartment.

Such an insultation.

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...
