Role Playing Disorder

An invented syndrome popular on online journaling sites (LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, et al) where the "sufferer" claims to have multiple personalities present in one single body.

Unlike clinical MPD/DID, these personalities are most often take from pop culture: rock stars, anime characters, and movie heroes. Less frequently seen are non-human "personalities" like vampires, dragons, and elves.

Those suffering from RPD will call it "pluralism" or refer to themselves as a "multiple system" - while staunchly insisting they are perfectly sane and rejecting all claims that their condition was invented solely due to desperate need to escape the monotony of their useless lives.

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.
