the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse

Boogey men used to scare people out of their privacy, free speech and other rights online. Canonically, these are terrorists, pedophiles, drug dealers, and money launderers but other distasteful people may be used depending on the audience.

Eventually, all of the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse were trotted out by SOPA/PIPA advocates.

the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse

Refers to cybercriminals. The exact meaning changes over time, but generally refers to drug dealers, money launderers, pedophiles, and terrorists. While none of this is new, the term was coinged due to the drastic effects such activity has had on the rights and daily online experiences of regular individuals.

"Thanks to the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse, the police are now allowed to search my computer whenever they want for whatever reason they want!"

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...
