Stallman Cycle 

Basically, the cycle that occurs when RMS makes a prediction that Y will happen if we allow X.
* RMS makes claim that Closed X will cause Y, therefore, the FSF will not use Closed X
* People call RMS a nazi, extremist, atheist,mooslin, commie
* Within 5 years, Y happens due to X
* People weep and wail, asking,"How could we not foresee this!!!?!?!ELEVEN~!1"
* Repeat with new version of X
Linux Noob: RMS just said we shouldn't export the AST for gcc! He's such a nazi when it comes to the GPL!!!
Graybeard: What you're seeing is the start of a Stallman Cycle. He makes a prediction, and he's usually correct.

Richard Stallman 

God on Earth. He is the Lord, who shall save humanity from its misogynistic tendencies towards proprietary software. The very atoms of his body are holy, and every time he chews his foot fungus he is actually sampling pure divinity. He shall correct all those who dare to misuse the phrase "GNU / Linux," owing to the fact that Linux is the kernel and GNU is the system of components forming the building blocks of the operating system. He is the shepherd of all flocks and varieties of people, namely those who recognize the superiority of GNU / Linux. Like any good shepherd, he shall never lead his people astray, never compromise his sacred beliefs, and always set a truly aspiring example of what people should aspire to become.
Random person: What are you doing?
GNU/Linux user: I am kneeling before my Lord, Richard Stallman. May the goodwill of free software everlast amidst the endless torrents and tirades of evil proprietary software.

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.
