El Cajon 

El Cajon is a small city 15 minutes east of San Diego. It has experienced massive growth on the outskirts, while not reinvesting and allowing the center of the town to degrade. The density of low cost apartments attracts less than desirable citizens. Drugs, alcohol and crime have further negatively impacted the area. The parks were once an area to have a picnic with friends and family. Now, they are full of intimidating bums. Most people will only travel through to reach a casino.

el cajon 

City in East San Diego County, California. Absolutely crawling with violent, white-trash tweakers, homophobes, hardcore racists, and some unfortunate people of Mexican descent who can't afford to live anywhere else. If you've bought drugs in San Diego, they probably came from here. Fat girls in sweats are the rule, as is beating your wife/kids and fighting with police, neighbors or anyone else you think has "disrespected" you.
The rent is so high in Clairemont, I've been thinking about moving to El Cajon.

Are you shitting me?

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.
