"Nuh Muh" was created by mistake, when a girl named Faye found it difficult to do the rock on sign using her index and little finger, instead using the thumb and little finger. As rock on is written online as "\m/", the extra finger on her hand gave rise to "\nm/", from which were derived the sounds of "nuh" and "muh", repectively, giving the hand action a name.

Instead of being used as a direct substitute for rock on, "Nuh Muh" has been transfigured into meaning that something is "cool", in the sense that it is good, or noteworthy.

A colloquialism only used by a handful of people, "Nuh Muh" is set to take the world by storm, and soon, nations will be using it to describe how brilliant things are. I hope.

Nuh Muh can also be shortened to the following:
- Nuhmuh/nuhmuh
- \nm/
- NM (nm is commonly misused as "Never Mind" in online acronyms, but it *should* be nvm)
"Wow, that film was totally Nuh Muh!"

"Dude, that is so *not* Nuh Muh. That's crap as."

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...
