Buckley Syndrome

when a person with working class Irish Catholic roots gets a little taste of wealth and then tries to present themself to others as snobby, aristocratic and British in an attempt to appear more sophisticated than they really are. People with a severe case of this disease sometimes speak in bogus transatlantic accents. Named after William F. Buckley, pretentious host of the TV show Firing Line that ran for over 30 years.

Rick: hey, you wanna text Johnny to see if he's down to smoke some weed?

James: nah, he's got Buckley Syndrome ever since that ambulance chaser helped him win that lawsuit. He only smokes Benson and Hedges now.

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.
