Mom Minute

When your mother talks to an old friends she hasn’t seen in years, she could say “One more minute.” Yet she takes a whole HOUR to wrap up the boring conversation.
Timmy: Mom! We have to get home! It’s a school night, you know. Mom: One more minute and I’ll be done. 1 HOUR LATER Timmy: Mom, that wasn’t a minute. That was a MOM MINUTE.

When a mother figure exaggerates the amount of minutes you did or didn't do something. She makes it from the amount of minutes it actually takes and says more, this in itself is it's own antonym. Due to this can be understating or exaggerating something.
Mom: You were supposed to be home 30 minutes ago!

Son: I was supposed to be home ten minutes ago. I don't know why your clock runs on mom minutes.

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...
