format war

Refers to a repetitive series of hot-headed and destructive actions whereby two or more people seethingly format a computer-disk or other media-storage device over and over to erase the previous user's files because each person either dislikes/disapproves of the content that the other users are storing on it, or each person selfishly/arrogantly feels that his own files are more important/necessary/virtuous than those of any of the device's other users.

I always bring extra floppy disks and/or flash-drives with me --- and clearly label them with my name --- to store my own files when I use the office computer, to hopefully avoid any format wars.

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...
