Manopathy 

Manopathy is a supernatural occurrence in which a man possesses the telepathic ability to rape a woman with nothing but his mind. This phenomenon was reported by many brave feminists. Research shows that only a white cisgendered male can posses this ability and it can be determined that all white cisgendered men should be considered guilty. Only the victim of this supernatural attack can identify it.
Betsy: I was raped!! I was raped!!
Tammy: Whoa slow down and tell me what happened.
Betsy: Okay. there I was minding my own buissness , when this white cismale started raping me with his mind.
Tammy : What are you talking about?
Betsy: Im afraid the patriarchy will let him get away with his Manopathy attack on me. I need a safe space.

Maskopause 

When some people at a certain age can do without a face mask, because apparently their immune system by then is strong enough to fight coronaviruses or their deadlier variants, which goes against the fact that adults or seniors are more prone to getting infected compared to the younger generation.
Guesstimate how many corona-proof people worldwide fall under the maskopause category.

(Noun) Psychiatry. A unique combination of traits resulting in a personality typified by sociopathic tendencies, a nearly complete unfamiliarity with moral responsibility and social conscience, a proclivity towards lies and thievery, and a near total inability to concentrate sufficiently on any single task resulting in consistenly shoddy workmanship.

This condition is so rare it is only known to exist in one individual, for whom the disease is named.

Sure signs of encountering this individual may include large quantities of bondo, claims of being "handy capped", references to "treats" (meaning "threats"), and unusually frequent references to something called a "shreff" (which is to this date unknown). Infrequently, there may be an air-cooled Volkswagen involved - although this will usually end up being stolen goods.

The victim also suffers from an extreme delusional state (i.e. his wife is hot, he is a top restorer, etc.).

Persons coming in contact with a mariopath would be advised to keep a sharp eye on their wallets.

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?
