damn onions

A popular term often used on social media in response to a sentimental, sappy, or emotionally-charged video or meme that makes you "tear-up". It's a metaphor referring to how your eyes water when you're cutting onions. The phrase is used by the poster as a means of deflecting or "saving face" from admitting they were emotionally affected to the point of tears welling in their eyes from what they just saw or read.

VIDEO POSTED ON FACEBOOK: (Something with a kitten getting rescued from a house fire by a firefighter that gives it oxygen and revives it. Then, the firefighter unites it with the ecstatic little girl it belongs to.)

SOMEONE AFTER VIEWING THE VIDEO: Just watched this video and my eyes started tearing up from those damn onions again!

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...
