gold sink 

A "Gold Sink" is a term used in MMORPGs for any game mechanic that is designed to remove money from the game's economy. This can be things like vendor purchased items, equipment repair, sales taxes & fees or even mailbox costs.

The idea behind this is to help remove money from the economy to curb inflation of the game's economy, although in most cases this is met with only limited success.

goldsink 

A goldsink is a method of removing fantasy currency from a roleplaying website's economy.

It is designed to indirectly control inflation; if people don't have the gold to spend, people can't charge higher prices because the item will never sell.
"I spent 2000 gold on this hair; now I have to delete it?!"

"Yep, hair's a goldsink."

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.
