The Cunckening

The Cunckening is the inevitable downfall of an occult grifter, the moment when the PayPal veil is lifted, and the world finally sees them for what they are. It is the tipping point, the memetic flood, the great reckoning of those who peddle mysticism as a brand while delivering nothing but invoices and excuses.

A Cunckening happens when:

Their students realize they've been ghosted after paying hundreds (or thousands) for "advanced wisdom."

They get exposed for rebranding Wikipedia-tier knowledge as "initiatory secrets."

Their cult of personality starts fracturing because the grift is stretched too thin.

They pivot from sorcery to political ranting in an attempt to stay relevant.

The community turns on them, whispering the word in the shadows.

Once a Cunckening begins, there is no stopping it. No amount of damage control, Facebook essays, or limp-wristed defenses can reverse the process. Their reputation enters a death spiral, and the best they can do is cling to whatever remaining Patreon paypigs haven’t yet seen the light.

A Cunckening is not just a moment—it is a prophecy. The grift always collapses in the end.

The Cunckening: When the politics outpace the PayPal invoices.
"The Cunckening started when people realized he spent more time doomposting about MAGA than answering student emails."

"When an occultist starts posting 20 times a day about ‘the threat of rising fascism’ but still hasn’t delivered the course he promised six months ago, the Cunckening is upon him."

"You can always tell when a Cunckening is underway—first, the occult posts slow down. Then the MSNBC-tier rants take over. Next thing you know, he’s writing thousand-word screeds about ‘populist threats’ while the students who paid him are still waiting for access."

"By the time he claimed Trump was a Goetic demon and started live-posting his tarot spreads about the election, the Cunckening was already in full effect."

"The Facebook feed was a perfect timeline of a Cunckening: occult wisdom > overpriced courses > angry anti-populist rants > all caps posts about democracy itself being at stake > grifting off another cycle of crisis."

"He used to charge $1,000 for a ‘self-initiation’ course, but when the students realized he’d just copy-pasted The Kybalion, the Cunckening began."

"After years of grifting off esoteric Facebook groups, the Cunckening finally caught up to him when people started comparing his ‘original work’ to Wikipedia articles."

"At first, people dismissed the whispers, but by the time the Cunckening reached full force, the receipts were everywhere—PayPal transactions, ignored emails, and a trail of abandoned students who never got what they paid for."

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

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...
