Riding the merry-go-round

Riding the merry-go-round* is when a woman seeks to secure a handsome, perhaps wealthy, emotionally unavailable man ("Chad"*) in an attempt to improve social standing (hypergamy), gets dumped, and then she tries again, repeating the cycle. She never learns, all while ignoring guys she has friend-zoned.

After perpetually riding the merry-go-round, the woman eventually finds herself past the flower of her youth, single, and whining on TikTok videos about how "there aren't any good men".

*terms often used by men's advice YouTubers "33 Secrets" and "Entrepreneurs in Cars".
She would do well to stop Riding the Merry-Go-Round and settle down with someone she has friend-zoned.

Merry Dissmas

A phrase used to put an exclamation point on an insult. Similar in usage to "You just got burned" or "In your face"

Instead of the pleasant and friendly holiday saying "Have a Merry Christmas", when you burn someone with a horrendously powerful insult finish them off with a "Yea Merry Dissmas pal".

The phrase is most effective when used during the holiday season.
Guy 1: Boy your Mom sure is ugly

Guy 2: I'd rather have an ugly Mom then one who blows homeless people for heroin.

Guy 1: (Crying because it's true**)

Guy 2: Yea, Merry Dissmas Pal

**The truth of the burn is not necessary, it just has to be an effective insult
