Powell Syndrome 

Powell Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by an abnormality of gene 611P79 on chromosome 18. It controls two important facets of personality development:
- The ability of the subject to question who someone thinks they are.
- The ability of the subject to explain to someone else just who they are dealing with.

Unlike other chromosome 18 syndromes, Powell Syndrome does not cause suffering in the subject, but is actually a contagion felt only by those in the immediate vicinity of the carrier.
I'm feeling a touch of Powell Syndrome setting in.

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.
