Look at my username. Doesn’t it make you want to try username downvoting?

downlowing 

Based on the express "keeping it on the down low," the term "downlowing" refers to a casual, and at the same time, secret, homosexual relationship, typically between black or latino men in small social gatherings - such as card games. Many of the men who participate in "downlowing" do not consider themselves gay, and many even have families.
Felix invited me to play dominoes with him and the boys this weekend, but I was told there's a lot of downlowing going on at those games, so I declined.

Downgating 

To ignore any superficial rules and procedures and achieve a goal, usually in an unorthodox manner.

Refers to Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game," when Ender wins the "impossible mission" by passing through the goal door without freezing all of the enemy soldiers.
Aw man, I had set so many parental controls on the TV so Billy couldn't watch R rated DVDs, but he was downgating me and bought the novelization.

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...
