Stone the Crow 

To lash out at the evidence of your deathly state.

“Well, stone the crows!” Basically, “I am so dead and all that’s left to do is fight to keep the buzzards from eating my flesh”. To stone the crow is pointless, because a crow only attacks you if you are dead. (You can’t literally throw stones at it if you’re dead), but it’s like panicking about the future and directing your anger about your misfortune and imminent death out towards something as harmless as a bird just because it reminds you of your awful predicament. We should never stone the proverbial crow, even if we are practically dead already, died before or are dead inside. In other words “don’t trip on small things when you have bigger fish to fry”. Or “don’t curse your fate or it’ll curse you.”
The injured warrior stumbled into camp and an opportunistic mate yelled “stone the crow! You’re in bad shape.”

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.
