Ortholisp 

A temporary and amusing speech impediment that develops after braces have been installed on one's teeth.
I couldn't understand you, Johnny. Did you say you need to go to the baff woom? Oh, you mean 'bath room', don't you? I forgot you have an ortholisp.

When I got my braces, I got this dang orffolithp (ortholisp).

He's such a geek. I mean, he was bad, but now that he's orthodolispic, he's impossible to understand.

Ortholysis 

(noun): the wrapping around of a mathematical function under transformation into a higher nth-dimensional space where n > 2 and n ∈ ℤ+. This twisting occurs typically when a 2D function is integrated by rotating about the x-axis in order to find the volume of the 3rd-dimensional shape.

Ortholysis is used to describe this behaviour in various different sub-branches of integral calculus. The origin of this word is still unknown. However, this neologism was rumoured to have been coined by a Romanian scientist and mathematician. i
Student: "Would the integral of y=−ze^x about the x-axis give you some sort of pulsar-like ortholysis spirally thing?"
Teacher: "Sort of. It depends on your limits and of course the fact that your equation doesn't consider that a pulsar visualisation with that equation would be rotating about the y-axis!"
Teacher: "And also the fact that the center of mass is not represented accurately in any way and you'd need to make it asymptotic."

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...
