FM Principal 

A term or phrase used to describe how a concept, idea, or equation operates. Heard most extensively from college students studying complex educational programs such as advanced mathematics or electro optics, the “F” stands for “F**king” and the “M” stands for “Magic”. The FM Principle can be used to describe: how a professor arrived at the answer to an equation, how a professor determined your grade for an assignment, or for instance, how to derive the transfer function of a 5th order chebyshev low pass filter.

When a concept or idea seems beyond the scope of reason or is considered unfathomable, it is often referred to as the "FM Principle".
College Student 1: How did the professor get that number?

College Student 2: Oh that? That's the FM Principal.

College Student 1: Huh?

College Student 2: The FM Principal... It's F**king Magic!

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.
