Electronic Body Music 

EBM are NOT electro.
Electric Body Music springs from Industrial with the main differance that it´s more dance-oriented. Not in the way like the common Euro-Dance and such, but in havin' a more defined bassline, very repetive beats, and heavy processing.
The name comes from an interview with, if I remember right, Richard 23 of the Belgian group Front 242, trying to describe there music.
EBM are part of an umbrella-genre called Synth, including New Romantic (Depeche Mode, Human League), Electro (Kraftwerk, Erasure), Industrial (Skinny Puppy, Das Ich, Neubauten), Noisemusic (Brighter Death Now, Martzbow), Italo Disco (Laserdance, Koto) and New Age (Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Enya) to name a few.
Among the biggest names in the EBM scene are Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, VNV Nation (Victory Not Vengance), Covenant, :Wumpscut: and some other I don´t bother mentioning right now ;-)

Electronic Body Music 

Actually, Ralf Hütter (Kraftwerk) first used the term Electronic Body Music. It was later picked up and applied by bands with the sound identified above.
blah blahh blah, Elektronisches Körper Musik
:says Ralf!

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.
