Not for me, Clive

Popularised by football co-commentator Andy Townsend, this is essentially an alternative way of saying “I don’t think so”.

The two main benefits are:
- it seemingly absolves you of any responsibility to say how you arrived at your decision
- it implies that whatever you’re judging is a load of nonsense that doesn't deserve further comment

Particularly useful when talking about a new-fangled, modern idea you can’t really get your head around.

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?
