instacurity
I knew I was suffering from instacurity when I strategically timed when I was going to post on Twitter to ensure the most retweets, once even tweeting from a funeral because I didn’t want to miss that “peak” time. I’m sure my late aunt would have understood.

Instaguru
An instaguru is an instant-guru, someone who lacks the expertise to succeed in a given profession, so instead they give the appearance of success through social media (including Instagram) and build a career in coaching and training others to succeed in the field they could never succeed in.
It's a bit like instamash, but with instamash potato you just need to add hot water, and with an instaguru you just need hot air.
It sounds off because it is. Their victims end up paying for courses that send them in all the wrong directions, because, after all, it's a bit hard to teach someone how to do something you can't do yourself. They are also known for engaging in other dubious behaviour, such as dodging taxes, helping themselves to any funds they acquire access to, or paying 'colleagues' late or not at all when outsourcing.
Instagurus have been known to exhibit multiple narcissistic traits in many cases, appearing to convince themselves and the world they are doing good until they eventually get too greedy and risk exposure. They will exhibit narcissistic rage and in many cases seek to actively discredit and destroy anyone who tries to lift the lid on their scam or expose their incompetence.
Instagurus are rampant in a number of industries, particularly freelance professions, including online marketing, copywriting, translation, and design.

"I can't stand instagurus. I wish they'd work on their skills before ripping off their peers!"
"Just saw Jonnie is offering a course on how to win direct clients, except he's yet to win any himself - what an instaguru."
"There are so many instagurus out there, ripping off newbies. Talentless vampires."

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.
