preterist 

n. A collector of cold nests.

Earlier meanings include 'a person more interested in the past than present or future.'
Here it applies specifically to those nostalgic and obsessed over past shags. Compare the phrase 'A night on the nest' for a one-night-stand!


Jim's a real, boring preterist, always boasting about his past conquests. Keeps a little black book, I'm told.

Preterstar 

A "rare" female who looks human, and was born human, and has the body of a person that functions like a human being; but deep inside of her heart and her vagina; there is no stimulus to get and keep her motherly instinct or her sexual and romantic hormones activated! It matters less what you do/say because nothing can turn her on. Preterstars go through life not getting involved with anybody! They never have sex, date other people, or make babies; and neither do they crave these things. They are similar to asexuals; only except "asexuality" is a sexual preference. Preterstartion is either a birth defect or an internal conflict caused by a traumatic experience.
Girl 1: Ask for his number!

Girl 2: No thanks!

Girl 1: Why not? He likes you.

Girl 2: Sorry! I can't.

Girl 1: Are you scared???

Girl 2: Nope

Girl 1: Well then what's the problem? If you're a lesbian, I can set you up with a chick instead of a dude.

Girl 2: I'm just not attracted to men or women! I don't want sex and I don't want to date.

Girl 1: So you're a preter-star?

Girl 2: What's that?

Girl 1: Preterstar stands for preternatural star, just like Carol Anne!

Girl 2: Are you talking about that little girl from Poltergeist?

Girl 1: No the other Carol Anne! starlight.sl1996
noun
A strangely persistent cold or flu that sweeps through a friend group shortly after spending time with someone named Peter. Symptoms include fatigue, sore throat, congestion, and a creeping suspicion that this all started when Peter “just had a little cough.” Often passed off as “not that bad” by Peter himself, Peteritis somehow manages to take out everyone else for days.
"You guys sick too? Yeah, same. Classic Peteritis — he swore he was 'basically fine' last weekend."

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...
