New Trick 

the "new trick" is a rollerblading trick that involves the use of the soul of the soul foot and the negative soul of the opposite foot.
It is performed by jumping on the rail/ledge and locking in with the soul of the skater's soul foot and simultaneously locking in on the same side of the rail with the skater's opposite foot by means of that foot's negative soul.
The "New Trick" is viewed as a difficult trick in the rollerblading community and is not a common trick indeed.

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...
