Shooting off - the act of masturbation. Originally meaning to leave or go somewhere (e.g. men may go shooting off to outer space..., I've got to shoot off now, will talk later though), but has come to meanwanking.
It was really awkward when Garr walked into the room and I was shooting off.
Person 1: Any plans for this evening?
Person 2: Not really. Might go shooting off later.
Person 1: Ok. Remember to clean it up afterwards :)
When you're really screwing yourself up by entangling yourselves in others' affairs, being dysfunctional, and making your life much more difficult than it needs to be.
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.
