Novinian 

Slang for a Northern Virginian, first appeared in Matt Carson's book, On A Hill They Call Capital.
Excerpt below from Carson's book, On A Hill They Call Capital:

"Cat finally got up and made his way back to the van, and slowly each man did in turn. We wound our way out of the world of the Novinians (who we call Northern Virginians) and back to the real Virginia. Cat usually explains it this way – Novinians are kind of like Martians. They can live amongst us – but we know who they are. They don’t talk or act like Virginians, they don’t prescribe to our “slow down, it’ll be alright” mentality, they use their horns for things other than waving, and they all scramble to be just like everyone else. We understand where the state line technically is, but most people wouldn’t claim anything north of Manassas as real Virginia anymore."

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...
