Penpalzone

Friendzone: "A state of being where a male inadvertently becomes a 'platonic friend' of an attractive female whom he was trying to intitate a romantic relationship."

The penpalzone is an even crueler fate. Not only does your would-be-significant-other consign you to a sad asexual existence, they also block any meetings in person to prevent any non platonic scenarios from arising, while still maintaining a "relationship" through texting or any other non-face to face communication.
If you're in the friendzone, don't complain about it or you may be relegated to the penpalzone. A life of loneliness and depression awaits you.

(homo amicus stylens) A species of human made nearly extinct by the advent of electronic mail, penpals communicate via the ancient art of Penmanship – the inscription of meaningful symbols on filaments of pulped wood. After their creation, these Letters would be entrusted to government officials for transportation and delivery to their intended recipient – often over great distances.

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.
