An misspoken appropriation of the adverb "literally". Has no actual definition, but is used as verbal filler by annoying and vapid social media users in an attempt to sound sophisticated. Citing misuse by historical writers as an excuse, it has infiltrated the modern vernacular. It has managed to surface as an alternate definition to literally in "current year" online dictionaries by other vapid social media users who leveraged diversity requirements to get a job with them.

A less annoying word, I am not aware of.

I litrally just .. (insert every activity known to man here)

I litrally can't .. (followed by nothing, for additional annoyance points)

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.
