surprisingly

"surprisingly" is a filler phrase used by devious businessmen to cover up their incompetence;

its meaning derives from "surprise", verbalizing an unforeseen event. Contrary to this definition,

the word mostly carries the meaning that the interlocutor who is talking to you has failed irredeemably.

To this day, historians speculate about the first historical usage of the word,

because it was only through industrialization that public utilization of the word was conceivable at all.

Johny: "Surprisingly, I got fired."
Unsuspecting Noob: "I'm so sorry for you, you couldn't have done anything better."

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...
