Quantum Vacuum Computing

A speculative computing paradigm that leverages quantum vacuum fluctuations—virtual particles appearing and annihilating—to perform calculations. Instead of using electrons or photons, quantum vacuum computing would use the transient states of the vacuum itself as computational bits or qubits. This could theoretically achieve massive parallelism, as every point in space is constantly fluctuating. Challenges include extreme noise, decoherence, and the need to measure virtual states without collapsing them. It remains a fringe concept, often discussed alongside zero‑point energy and retrocausality.
Quantum Vacuum Computing Example: “His quantum vacuum computing model simulated a trillion operations per second using only a tiny volume of empty space—in theory. In practice, he couldn’t isolate a single virtual particle.”

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...

liquid lunch 

A lunchbreak comprised entirely of alcoholic beverages, and no food.
"With all the lay-offs that morning, it was rough. I hit the bar around the corner for a liquid lunch mid-day."

ankle biter

Someone or something that bites your ankles.
To a postman, an ankle biter is often known as a dog.
To an adult, an ankle biter may be a toddler.
To hikers, an ankle biter is sometimes a tick.
And so on.
"Dang ankle biter took off my whole leg!!"
