Call in to work or skip school and opt out for a sick day whether you're sick or not.

After hitting up the club and the Waffle House, I decided to chuck a sickie so I could stay home and chill.

Chuck a Sickie

To stay home from work or school pretending to be sick. (NOTE: Not to be confused with the Japanese "Chakuseki", meaning sit down).

Mike: Man, I don't want to go to work. I might just chuck a sickie.
Dave: Chakuseki? YOU CAN DO THAT AT WORK, FOOL!

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.

"Did you see all the cops on highway 6? They are oinking hard!"

"I hope Johnny doesn't get caught with his bag of weed, the pigs are oinking"
