Own the Podium

Based on the program of the same name, launched by the Canadian government ahead of the Vancouver Olympics. The goal was to be the top medal winning team and place in the top 3 in the Paralympics.

The program was a failure in any measurable way and was blamed in part for the death of Georgian Luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili.
As a result, the term is now an ironic, dismissive way to say "You suck." It is best used on a canadian, who will know the origin and the stigma it carries. Fricken Canadians.

American Girl: "So I was watching this movie with Ryan Reynolds yesterday..."
Canadian Male beaks in "Ryan Reynolds is Canadian!"
American Girl (waves hand): "Yeah, you guys really own the podium. Anyways, that movie sucked."

Nutshot

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.

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...
