Internecine 

pronounced IN-ter-NEE-sin. It comes from the Latin: "inter" (between, among) and "necare" (to kill). It means a conflict destructive to both sides, or very bloody. We do tend to use it to describe civil wars.
The United States fought a terrible internecine war from 1861 to 1865

Internecine Female Vindictiveness 

When one or more women derides another woman or group of women for not following a (often meaningless) social convention, generally motivated by obvious jealousy or an unwillingness to see someone of their own minority group get ahead. This is similar to the "crabs in a bucket" phenomenon where crabs will damage one another in order to be the last one killed.
Jennifer: "Did you see Kate all over that guy at the bar? What a slut! And she dresses so slutty too!"

Alex: "Geez, talk about your internecine female vindictiveness."

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.
