Watch this Space

Perhaps the most annoying phrase currently used by marketing teams and YouTube influencers to convey a sense of hype and anticipation about their bullshit products or services.

Made more depressing by the realisation that there are indeed people out there, watching that space.
Peppy YouTube influence - “let’s just jump right into it guys, I’m going to be releasing some brand new mystery merch so watch this space”

Do not write in this space 

Okay, I won't jot down any letters or numbers --- but I WILL make lots of meaningless scribbly lines and ink-smudges in it, so dat YOU can't write anything in dat space, either! PPPPTHTHTHTHPPPPPT!!!
Telling someone "Do not write in this space" on a paperwork-form is virtually a guarantee that he will seethingly scrawl all kinds of infuriated gibberish in that precious little space, especially if he is feeling resentful about having to feverishly fill out the stupid form in the first place ("Whatever happened to the Paperwork-Reduction Act?!"), just as posting a "No Smoking" sign or putting up a "Keep Off The Grass" placard often results in an INCREASE in said unwanted activity, rather than lessening it!

Is this a safe space? 

Is this a safe space is a phrase that is usually used in X(Formerly TWITTER), when you have a controversial opinion or something to say that you’re not 100% sure that the rest would agree.
X: I was wondering, Is this a safe space?
Y: A picture, a video or any type of media that might seem usual but has a slight aspect that might spark controversial opinions.

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.
