a little pregnant

Commonly thought to be an impossible statement, being 'a little pregnant' is when a woman is pregnant but still able to have an abortion.

Suzy: So it turns out I'm a little pregnant

Jackie: Oh no girl that's terrible! You're parents are going to kill you! By the way it's not possible to be just a little pregnant girl.

Suzy: Actually it IS possible because I have this freshly unbent coat-hanger right here. Would you mind giving me a hand?

Jackie: Of course, that's what friends are for!

you can't be just a little bit pregnant

It means that the situation that is being described is a binary. It is something that is either IS or ISN'T. Such as is the case when one is pregnant. One either "is" pregnant or "is not", there is no in between or partial pregnancy. It means it is a situation in which there is no ambiguity or no gray area. You can't be "just a little bit" of certain things.

You can't be just a little bit pregnant when you are talking bankruptcy. You can't be just a little bit bankrupt. You are either bankrupt or not bankrupt.

Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook) in the movie "Wall Street" used this phrase while conversing with Bud Fox

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...
