I don’t really use the word myself (at least, I don’t remember using it), but I sometimes do say things like “intense utilitarian” or “intense worker.”
I’d vote against “Drank the kool-aid EAs.” It’s a super dark metaphor; of an altruistic sect that turned into a cult and committed mass suicide. I get that it’s joking, but it feels like a bit much for me.
The phrase originates from events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died. The movement’s leader, Jim Jones, called a mass meeting at the Jonestown pavilion after the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and others in nearby Port Kaituma. Jones proposed “revolutionary suicide” by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs which had been prepared by his aides.
