psycholojism 

The language used by amateur (and sometimes professional) psychologists and sociologists to talk bollocks in order to invalidate an opponent in a debate, court, or forum..

A load of head-jism..
"The shrink told the court I was a psychotic, manic, schizo, narcissistic, empathy devoid and unsuitable human being for anything worthy of respect.. But frankly, thats just a load of psycholojism, commonly known as 'bollocks'..

I told the judge to shove it up his fucking arse.. I guess that proved a point.."

clerical psychologist 

A term that darkly mocks what clinical psychology has become in this data-heavy, lawsuit-driven world which often values documentation of treatment more than the treatment itself.
I feel like I should be called a “clerical psychologist” because the time needed to appropriately document the clinical contact, required by the state, can eat up the entire hour, leaving me with no time to interact with the patient!

Reverse reverse psychology 

Basically just plain ol' psychology. Reverse reverse psychology only exists when the other person assumes that you are doing reverse psychology on them (when you are not).
Sgt McDonut: "I wouldn't press the button that says 'eject' if I were you."

Pvt Cummings: "I know you're just reverse psychology'ing me, so I won't."

Sgt McDonut: "And that's exactly what I wanted you to do. The button was to eject me out of the plane, not you. Thankfully I factored in the possibility that you would think I'm doing reverse psychology. And even if I was unaware of your mental gymnastics, your reverse psychology guess would've screwed you anyway because the eject button for your seat was in my hands all this time. Get reverse reverse psychology 'd son."

*Pvt Cummings gets ejected out of the plane*

Reverse Reverse Reverse Psychology

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.
