snot swab

Slang for nasopharyngeal swabs used to test people for COVID 19. So named because the Nurse or Doctor (usually Nurse) doing the test inserts a long handled swab into the subject's nose and into one of their sinus cavities. The sinuses produce snot, and COVID 19 lives in the sinuses.

As a healthcare worker, I have to go for COVID 19 testing every 2 weeks at work. It doesn't hurt that much if the Nurse doing the test uses a gentle touch (it's no more painful than having chlorinated pool water enter your nostrils). At my last COVID test, I joked with my Nurse friend inserting the swab, "Time for a snot swab"

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.
