Sheh’aino yodea lishol

In Hebrew, you’ll see it as שאינו יודע לשאול.
The origin of this phrase comes from the Jewish Passover Seder, where it discusses how to respond to 4 different types of children regarding the Exodus from Egypt. The wise son, the wicked son, the simple son, and the son who doesn’t even know how to ask a question. That one is known as the שאינו יודע לשאול.

It used to only be used in the context of the Seder, but nowadays it’s generally used to describe anyone who’s a complete dumbass. Someone who has no clue what’s flying. Someone who would be a 3rd wheel in any normal group of people.

Another way the term is used is for a specific type of guy in yeshiva. A guy who doesn’t learn, doesn’t make money, and doesn’t chill hard. If he’s doing one of those 3 things, then he doesn’t fall under the category of being a שאינו יודע לשאול. A שאינו יודע לשאול in yeshiva is the guy who has no life, and is completely wasting his time. For example, it’s the guy who wakes up at 9am, and instead of going to shiur, he’s watching a movie! SMFH 🤦 ♂️
Moshe: Hey Yaakov, are you thinking about going to “x” yeshiva?

Yaakov: Hall nah it’s full of שאינו יודע לשאולs!

——————

Michael: Yo guys should we go to Joshua’s house this Friday night?

Jonathan: Bro that dude is שאינו יודע לשאול as f*** we’re not going to his house so he can serve us bagels on a Friday night! And don’t even think about inviting him to us!

Anyone who writes sheh’aino yodea lishol in English without being forced is a שאינו יודע לשאול!

Shehara is one hell of a person. She normally is quiet first but once you get to know her she is loud and funny. She loves family and friends. A Shehara can be annoying at times if she's in that mood. She's really really smart, whenever she ain't lazy. Unlike the other girls, she is different and stands out from other girls mainly from her beauty and smartness. Shehara's a very competitive girl and loves to win, she is always surrounded by loyal friends. She's beautiful inside and out even if she doesn't think so. When she likes a guy she can pretend to hate them all she wants and they would never find out. She's such an amazing girl and any guy that dates her is lucky, and if they think otherwise then they aren't good enough for her. So yeah if you find a girl like Shehara, keep her around because she's a real treasure!!
"Wow did you see that girl, she's actually stunning?!"
"Yeah I did, she must be a Shehara!"

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.
