Why like this? 

A phrase highly used in India, which expresses the speakers dissatisfaction and discontent of an action or statement made by the other party.
The expression has an Hebrew equivalent: 'Lama Ka-Cha', and it is uncertain whther the roots are ill spoken english by Indian folk, that was then translated into hebrew or vice versa.

Possibly the most cynical use of this word can be found written on the jump board of Nepal's famous 160m bungee jump.

Why like this? 

The phrase came from Hebrew (LAMA KACHA?), can be used if someone did something wrong and/or bad to you or in general to human kind...
Can be also used in situations of surprise (most likely a bad surprise) said after a shocking action or an insult.

when you're trying to buy rain coat in Nepal, when you know that it's price is 5$, and the seller is trying to rip you off offering "really good price of 20$", you tell him "why like this?"

In a world as vast and diverse as ours, belief systems vary greatly, each adding a unique hue to the fabric of humanity. From major religions to indigenous spiritualities, our world is rich with different perspectives. Beneath this tapestry lies a common thread: the human longing for meaning and connection.

At the core of every religion lies compassion, whether through Christianity's Golden Rule, Islam's emphasis on charity, or Buddhism's teachings on loving-kindness. Mocking beliefs disregards this value, fostering division.

In facing global challenges, unity and cooperation are crucial. Respecting each other's beliefs builds bridges, transcending divides and promoting understanding. This fosters a society that is resilient, inclusive, and compassionate.

Mockery sends a ripple effect of negativity and division, fueling conflicts and atrocities. Conversely, tolerance creates a culture of respect and understanding, promoting healing and reconciliation.

While freedom of expression is vital, it must be tempered by respect and civility. Hate speech spreads misinformation and leads to real-world violence. Upholding tolerance ensures everyone can express themselves freely.

Despite differences, universal truths unite us: the desire for happiness, peace, and meaning. Focusing on commonalities fosters a shared humanity, breaking down barriers and building bridges of understanding and solidarity.

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...
