psychological nudity 

A state of mental and emotional honesty. When all pretense, prejudice, expectations, bravado, etc. are removed, and all that is left is the bare mind. Pure thought (not necessarily pure as in good) is more readily accomplished when one is psychologically nude. Note that psychological nudity has nothing to do with the amount of clothing one is (or is not) wearing; it is a mental state.
After half an hour of chipping away at my preconceived ideas, I could finally see what she was talking about. Fully clothed, I experienced psychological nudity.

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.
