Poet's Row 

A series of apartment buildings on Sherman street named after poets in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood. (The Thomas Carlyle, the Louisa May-Alcott, the Emily Dickinson, the Mark Twain, etc...) Most buildings were built in the 1920's and have art-deco architecture and no parking. Which is fine, because they are mostly occupied by hipsters who ride bikes.
I wanted to live downtown, but LoDo is too douchy and I can only afford like $500 a month in rent, so I moved to Poet's Row.

she-poet 

A sub-genre of a predominantly male "Instapoets" demographic on Instagram that focus on the topic of womanly lust and desires, mostly from the perspective and interpretation of the male narrative figure. Not to be confused with misogynists, the she-poet yearns to obtain a metaphysical connection between a current and/or past love interest through a narrow-minded view of life or literary prowess. Usually implements trite similes and metaphors including, but not limited to: whiskey, galaxies, chaos, love, light, oceans, scars, kisses, etc. A typical "she-poem" is equivalent to one short stanza.
"Whoa, this she-poet has 500k followers! He must be amazing and get all the women."
"She-poets are a mockery to all that is literary and artistic. You fucking don't wanna be one."

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.
