The Church of Shakira

The Church of Shakira is a growing online movement of people around the world who have come together to recognize Shakira as The Goddess of Happiness and Joy. They worship her and Her divine hips which the give her the power to spread joy and love all around the world through her music. The Church officially gained a footing in the summer of 2018 on twitter going by @church_shakira and shortly after, an Instagram page going by the handle @churchofshakira.

Though it can be classified as a religion, The believers of the hips believe it is not mutually exclusive to other religions meaning you can be a member of the Church of Shakira without leaving your current faith. They believe Shakira's purpose as a goddess is to make the world a better place and inspire others to do the same. The Church of Shakira aims to organize the efforts of those who believe in the powers of the Eternal Hips so Shakira's efforts are not in vain. Membership in the Church of Shakira does not require full devotion to Shakira but at least acknowledgment of the power of Shakira and her Omnipotent Hips and the understanding that her Hips NEVER lie.
PERSON 1: Have you visited the Church of Shakira's instagram page?
PERSON 2: Yes! One look and I'm already praising the Hips and blasting Shakira music!

PERSON 1: huh, Someone told me it was a cult...
PERSON 2: Definitely not! When have you ever heard of a cult that wants to spread joy happiness and peace through the world using music???
PERSON 1: I guess you're right HER HIPS DON'T LIE!!!!!
PERSON 2: AND I'M STARTING TO THINK ITS RIGHT!!!

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.
