They wish for the other person to not have whatever they are envious and go to extreme measures to prevent them from having it.

To feel hatred towards a person who you feel has more than you and a better life. I think people learn to envy by watching all these rap videos and kim kardisian bullshit. You program your subconcious to feel this envy in your heart. For example if you watch rich and famous people all day and you come into the presence of one and they show you how they live you would feel intimidated and ashamed for nothing. People who brag have low self esteem. Learn to imagine your self in the mind instead of thinking about how rich Justin Bieber is and what he has and meet him and he'll envy you for being strong not like most of his kick ass fans and fake friends who prey on him to get money
I envy her she has a sexy boyfriend

A bitter state or hatred induced by another having something more than oneself. Most acute between people where the difference is slight, eg, a neighbour with a minutely more expensive car. The most denied emotion - "I'm not envious, I don't hate her because she's got more money than me!".

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.
