Polygamaxxing

Taken from the word 'polygamy', polygamaxxing is exactly what it sounds like. You marry as many people as humanly possible, the term following the "maxxing" suffix used in multiple pieces of slang. It is used as a sort of brag, claiming that you are better than your opponent because you polygamax, or you say that your opponent is just envious because you polygamax. However, it is almost always used in an ironic tone; nobody will ever brag about how they polygamax seriously, nor will they ask you to join their 'polygamaxxing journey'. This word has its strongest use in the state of Utah, due to the LDS (Latter-day Saints) Church favoring polygamy in its earlier days, keeping the state known for the stereotypes of the religion. Some families still keep up the tradition of polygamy, but this is very rare due to the taboo nature of polygamy, it being the reason the LDS Church was driven to Utah.
