The Shadow Realm 

The shadow realm is the unfortunate demise of the everyday sim racer.

Anyone can be sent to the shadow realm, this is often the result of coming up against a dirty driver that likes to ram other drivers, cut corners, and/or seek unwarranted revenge through uncontained frustration.

Likewise, anyone can send another to the shadow realm, sometimes sending someone to the shadow realm is approved without wider scrutiny, even encouraged, such as wiping out a dirty driver.

What's the most embarrassing however, is sending yourself to the shadow realm. This is often achieved by unsuccessfully navigating tight chicanes such as "The Chicane Of Death" in Gran Turismo 6, or a simple lack of concentration through a difficult part of the track.

Barry R is a close relative of the shadow realm.
You know what? I've had enough of this dirty driver, time to send him into the shadow realm. *PIT manoeuvres him into the wall*

Unfortunately, that German slammed right into me into Turn 1, and unfortunately, I have yet again met my old friend, the shadow realm.

For fuck's sake. I've sent myself into the shadow realm.

The Shadow Realm

Hell, but not.
If you die from a card game, maybe you deserve to go to The Shadow Realm.

Being Sent to The Shadow Realm 

A term typically used while playing fighting/platformer games. This entails being hit off-stage and losing a stock. Unlike "Being Sent to Brazil", this occurrence involves the fighter being sent down at a 90° angle to the floor. The most common occurrence of this is in the Super Smash Bros. franchise, in which one fighter can strike the other using a certain move that spikes the opponent straight down (this is referred to as a "meteor smash" by the creators of the game).
"There's nothing more embarrassing than being sent to The Shadow Realm after talking smack to your opponent, trust me it's a nasty experience."

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...
