The uncomfortable few days between Christmas and the New Year when nothing seems to happen. The old year is dead; the new one hasn't begun. Everyone else is on holiday, television is showing older re-runs than normal, and the shops are either shut or crowded.
The kids' presents needed batteries, but everywhere seemed to be closed for the annopause.

Autopause 

Walking to a car, it's the place where a conversation becomes momentarily awkward, and often comes to a complete halt after a few failed attempts to shout over the large American sedan or SUV. Emerging from the autopause, the appropriate sentence is "What were we talking about?"
Jane and I were walking to the parkinglot- talking of memories past when upon arriving at the car we put our grocieries in the trunk. In order to get into the car, we went thru the autopause and felt weird that we could not see each other. We had time to think independently for a moment, and when we backed out into traffic, Jane said "What were we talking about?"

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...
