humor snipering 

If someone in a group says nearly nothing all the time, let others discuss things, just waiting for the perfekt moment to throw in a gag, you can call this behavior humor snipering.

Most of the time followed by a surpised reaction or laughter (not slaughter, that's the difference to real snipering).

Humor snipering is regarded as a high art by some people.

Also known as Gag snipering
A long discussion about a problematic family structure is going on, about what the problems in the family are and why there are so many suicides.

Person 1: As you can see, the communication has never been very good in this family. Suicide is no communication.

Person 2 (nothing said so far): Yes it is, it's non-verbal communication!

(Followed by a lot of breath-ins and gasps, laughter too)
What Person 2 did was "humor snipering"

Billy's Friend: "What's he going on about now?"

Billy: "Don't mind grandpa, he's a bit of a sneering imperialist."

aura sniping 

Aura sniping is when in a first person shooter you are sniping, hit the area around your target, obviously missing, (seriously it would be impossible to mistake your missing the target for hitting it) and still manage to kill your victim. The mark of an expert aura sniper is when you pull off a head shot when you obviously hit the area around your targets foot without actually touching your victim. No one ever starts a game intending to aura snipe, it is always done accidentaly. Aura sniping while hacking the game is not aura sniping, it is cheating.
Guy 1: Dude you suck at this game.

Guy 2: I do not...LOOK I just sniped that guy!

Guy 1: You aura sniped him

Guy 2: I what sniped him?

Guy 1: Aura sniping is when you kill your target without actually hitting him. It was luck, it takes absolutley no skill.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
