nutgraph

A type of paragraph, used in journalism, that summarizes the background and significance of an event. It generally comes after the lead but before any details, and it explains the context of the event/article to the reader.

Without this nutgraph, I would never have understood the rest of this article. Hell, I wouldn't have bothered to keep reading!

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...
