Beggar’s Canyon

A section of Route 21(McCarter Highway) in Newark, NJ, that stretches from the Clay Street bridge southward to the Interstate 78/Route 1&9 interchange. Where, if caught at a red light, you will most likely be asked to put some change in an old, used paper cup.

Named after the treacherous canyon on Tattoine where Luke Skywalker would bullseye womp rats in his T-16, Beggar’s Canyon in Newark is sometimes also treacherous to navigate.
“Better roll up your window Lou, we’re about to head into Beggar’s Canyon.”

“I used to love hanging out in the Ironbound section of Newark, but lately it’s become Beggar’s Canyon.”

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...
