declutter 

To eliminate extraneous things or information, as in "It's time to declutter your life." This can apply to cleaning up a room or location, but can also apply to cleaning up computer files or removing unnecessary information from your brain or even a specific discussion. It is often used in a loose way to refer to eliminating unnecessary stressors from your life/situation, like someone talking about decluttering their life by breaking up with a significant other. It can also be spelled with a hyphen: de-clutter (decluttered, decluttering).

I really need to break up with Joey and declutter my life.
It's time to declutter your hard drive.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study.

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.
