Sybil Trelawney

The act of abruptly stopping previous actions (i.e. conversation), turning one's head and looking blankly off into space after one has developed a deep thought and cannot help but interpret its meaning.

Corey: "Yeah, so I was doing my Honors Physics homework with my boyz James, Dapo, Dan, Noam, and the rest of my peepz when..." (looks off into space)
Cristina: "Yo! Corey just pulled a Sybil Trelawney in this motha!!! Whatchu thinkin' bout, Corey?"

Raven from That's So Raven has mastered the "Sybil Trelawney". Raven may try to act like she originated the gesture, but Sybil Trelawney is the original gangsta.

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...
