Allosaurus 

Allosaurus (æləˈsɔ rəs) is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian). The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard" alluding to its unique concave vertebrae (at the time of its discovery). It is derived from the Greek ἄλλος/allos ("different, other") and σαῦρος/sauros ("lizard / generic reptile"). The first fossil remains that could definitively be ascribed to this genus were described in 1877 by paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh. As one of the first well-known theropod dinosaurs, it has long attracted attention outside of paleontological circles. Indeed, it has been a top feature in several films and documentaries about prehistoric life.
As the most abundant large predatory dinosaur in the Morrison Formation, Allosaurus was at the top of the food chain, probably preying on contemporaneous large herbivorous dinosaurs, and perhaps even other predators. Potential prey included ornithopods, stegosaurids, and sauropods. Some paleontologists interpret Allosaurus as having had cooperative social behavior, and hunting in packs, while others believe individuals may have been aggressive toward each other, and that congregations of this genus are the result of lone individuals feeding on the same carcasses. Due to having a much weaker bite force and a much wider gape than most other large carnivorous dinosaurs, it may have attacked large prey by ambush, using its upper jaw like a hatchet.

French for "let's go." More formal than "on y va" (literally "one goes there") which means the same thing.

Well-known from the phrase "Allons-y, Alonso" (Alonso is a name). Made famous in English by the tenth doctor on Doctor Who though he was actually quoting the character Ferdinand in the '60s French film Pierrot le fou, where the subtitles translate it as "let's go, daddy-o."

(pronouced Ah-llon-s-win)
Allonswin is the pairing of the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) and Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman) in the British Television Sci-fi/Drama Doctor Who. The name comes from the Tenth Doctor's catchphrase, 'Allons/y' and Clara's username, 'Os/win', therefore, Allonswin. Though only seen in one episode together, they are an immensely popular couple, though not as popular as Whoufflé.
If you're reading a story about the Tenth Doctor and Clara Oswald in a relationship, romantic or otherwise, and you support it, you like 'Allonswin'.

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?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
