Keyboard Cowboys 

The ultimate code slinger. Wild, impulsive, living on the edge and taking risks without worrying about the consequences. May or may not singlehandedly take down a corrupt government to aid the public.

Derivative from the 1995 film hackers starring Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller.
"You wanted to know who I am zero cool? Well, let me explain the new world order. Governments and corporations need people like you and me. We are samurai, Keyboard Cowboys and all those other people out there who have no idea what's going on are the cattle. Moo."

Keyboard cowboy 

A person whose only reason to participate on an Internet discussion board is to argue and be combative, oftentimes joining just to add a pointless but hurtfull comment then to leave never to be heard from again until the topic nearly dies out and then jump back in to fan the flames. They seldom if ever add anything of substance to any discussion they participate in, but instead just troll various forums looking for a fight -- stirring the pot with no rhyme or reason.

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.
