Snow Crash 

A. An interpretation of sound, a pattern, image or code that you’re exposed to so frequently that on certain occasions you immediately see/hear the sound, pattern, image or code subconsciously when exposed to and continue to see or hear it whether it’s existent or nonexistent. Very similar to Pareidolia.

C. “Snow Crash” is a science-fiction/cyber punk novel by Neal Stephenson.
Example 1 -

Guy 1: “That cloud in the sky is shaped like a dog!”

Guy 2: “Dude, every day you’ve been watching too many dog videos....holy shit you’re right it is a dog! I think you just got snow crashed.”

Example 2 -

“The hacker has been exposed to programming so much that he immediately saw the system flaw when he glanced at the machine code.”

When they get closer to the overpass, it becomes a lost cause trying to drive at all, the thrashers are so thick and numerous. It's like putting on crampons and trying to walk through a room full of puppies. They have to nose their way along, tapping the horn, flashing the lights.
-- Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

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.
