Turisas is a war god worshipped especially in the Häme region in Finland before christianity. The problem with Finnish mythology is that there are much less sources of written knowledge about it compared with other cultures, which results in dissenting information and uncertainty about facts. The name itself has several writing appearances depending on the source (Tursas, Turisas, Turilas and Turri) all meaning pretty much the same. The etymology of the word is somewhat complex: Tursas refers to mythological giants (as well as sea-creatures in modern Finnish language), Iku-Turso is somekind of a sea-monster according to folk poetry, while Meri-Tursas again appears in old spells as a breeder of disease. The name Turisas stands also pretty near to the Scandinavian, and better known,

Adun Turidas 

A common greeting used in the Xel'Naga era of the world of the extraterrestrial sentient beings, Protoss.

Since the destruction of their holy temple, the phrase has been manipulated and distorted by the rebellion force in a successful propaganda attempt to ridicule the excess horniness of the previous Protoss generations. Its literal meaning in English stands:

"Fuck me I am Hornyyyyyyyy"
Terran Marine army commander: GO GO GO
Protoss Dark Templar opponent: Adun Turidas ;)

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...
