When one deletes a friend from Facebook because he or she knows that the Facebook friend in question would eventually delete them instead. Preemptive unfriending thus robs the deleted Facebook friend of the joy of being able to delete them.
John: Why'd you deleteBec from you friend list?
Adam: I knew she'd eventually delete me so I wanted to take the satisfaction of unfriending for myself.
John: Ah, a preemptive unfriending.
When someone you'refriends with on a social network takes too much of an interest in their profile (generates an excessive amount of posts) or in your profile (generates an excessive amount of comments on your profile), and you contemplate terminating the "friend" status.
Contemplation can also be due to terminated relationships, etc.
Girl 1: Oh my God... Becky is so annoying on Facebook. She comments on like, ALL of my pictures.
Girl 2: I know, right! Right now she's Pending Unfriending.
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.
