Someone with an extraordinarily long name that you couldn't correctly pronounce if you were paid to.

When King Louis XVI was told the news of the fall of the Bastille by the duc de La Rouchefoucauld-Lianocourt, he exclaimed
"Why, this is a revolt."
"No sire," replied the duc, "this is a revolution."

"hey what's his name?"
"i dunno, might as well be duc de La Rouchefoucauld-Lianocourt..."

Great French family with a wonderful name dating back from the umpteenth century; illustrated by the said Duke and by another one who was a moralist in the reign of Louis XIV.

We had dinner with the Rochefoucauld-Liancourt yesterday; as usual the Duke complained it was so difficuly to find good maidservants nowadays!

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...
