pontaffism 

In a story, any line of dialogue or plot development intended to be humorous or dramatic that instead has a negative impact because it exhibits some or all of the following characteristics:

1) It is awkwardly phrased, excessively wordy and/or repetitive
2) It creates glaring plot holes and derails established characterization
3) It is highly self-indulgent and/or self-congratulatory, drawing attention to itself instead of fitting smoothly into the narrative

Pontaffisms differ from instances of narm in that narmy things are unintentionally amusing whereas pontaffisms are unintentionally painful, obnoxious and/or rage-inducing.
The games Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World are filled with pontaffisms, such as "Baldy McNosehair", "Did somebody order an extra-large clobbering with everything?" and "The only thing that's getting conquered is your face!" These make the cutscenes almost unbearable for many people.

Pontanism 

The philosophy developed by the Byzantine philosopher Pontus after he published his thesis in the year 540 of the Second Age. It outlines highly anti alcoholic views and states that a state of drunkenness can be reached by evoking the Holy Spirit and certain Byzantine music. Although popular among the Byzantines in Popa and the surrounding area, it quickly gained opposition, with many factions claiming it's views were superstitious. It's wholescale rejection at the Council of Caldicka weakened the movement in 543, but influential nobles like Seraphina maintained its charisma, and from 545 it began to revive.
"Who is that in the lower bay?"
"That's Maglor, he's a follower of Pontanism, that's why he's been called to give his view."
"Pontanism is far too negative about alcohol , and in doing so they commit heresy against the Holy Spirit."

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 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
