arken's law

Arken's Law, which states that a discussion is over when a camparison is made to the book 1984, was invented on www.iidb.org. While it was Arken who came up with the idea that Orwellian references are much abused, it was someotherguy who suggested that a law similar to Godwin's be applied.

User 1: Big Brother is here! Welcome to 1984!

User 2: I invoke Arken's Law by declaring this discussion over and you are retarded.

Arken's Law

Very similiar to Godwin's law. The difference being that, while Godwin's law dictates that a thread on a forum or Usenet is finished when Hitler or the Nazi's are invoked, Arken's law says that a discussion is over when present society is compared to Orwell's Oceania in the book 1984.

Poster 1: America is just like 1984...remember, Big Brother is Watching

Poster 2: By Arken's law, this discussion is over and you are a moron.

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...
