clamtrap 

(n.) The situation where a woman deliberately facilitates pregnancy without her regular partner's consent or knowledge, generally done to secure future financial support from that partner in the form of child support payments. The practice takes advantage of the severely disadvantageous legal climate for fathers of unwanted children.

It is typically done by deliberately ending dosage of birth control medication, but other methods include lying about the timing of the menstrual cycle, sabotaging female contraceptives, or retrieval of semen from discarded condoms.

In extreme circumstances where the couple practices withdrawal as contraceptive, she wraps her legs around her partner at the moment of orgasm and prevents withdrawal before ejaculation occurs.

claptrapocracy 

I can find no dictionary definitions for this word but I believe the intended meaning is government by inept individuals spouting nonsense.

A similar word to kakistocracy, which is in the dictionary: "government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state".

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.
