Apparanim 

1. A machine with a soul/conscience

I would consider Optimus Prime to be an Apparanim, even if I don't know the transformers lore.
Do you think if we upload our brains to computers, that we would become Apparanims, or do you think the computer would live on as an AI copy while the real us dies?

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?
