prouty wife 

Medicare term used to describe certian beneficiaries:
In 1965-66 Congress also identified another "disadvantaged" group:
elderly individuals (age 72 before 1971) who had not been able to work
long enough under Social Security to become insured for a benefit. People
in this group were granted special Social Security benefits paid for
entirely by the general revenues of the Treasury. These were known as
Special Age 72, or Prouty, benefits. Over time, of course, these
beneficiaries will disappear as Father Time claims members of the group."
from the SSA website.

Winston L. Prouty was the Maine Senator who initiated the amendment to the
law.
Because of her limited work history as a homemaker, the widow was considered a prouty wife and had to reapply for hospital benefits with the CMS office.

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...
