An antiquated tradition left over from the early days before tickets and infolines for raves. Map Point was the place where you went to buy a map to the location of the rave (rather than the more modern concept of buying a ticket then calling the infoline.) which was also buying your ticket. It is still frequently used, although in conjunction with tickets and infolines.
Raver A: Did you hear about that rave on the 18th?
Raver B: Yeah, I'm not going though cause it's on the map point system so it will be a pain to get to.

I love mappainting, but most people wonder how can someonefind mappainting funny and entertaining.
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.
