Spontaneous Research Call
A Spontaneous Research Call, SRC is a prank call placed to a business in order to research how ridiculously far companies will go to please their customers for more business. Such calls may also be made to international embassies and the like, to confirm or deny media reports. They are often prompted by a crazy tabloid news story in popular culture.
Spontaneous Research Calls have been coined and popularized by The Sir Darryl Radio Experience , the most listened to radio program on the internet.
Sir Darryl will call companies and it reveals the absurdity of our corporate and customer service culture that will say yes to anyone who offers money, notoriety or other compensation. Sometimes, the company's spin machine is at work. At other times, these calls expose the genuine professionalism and helpfulness of the representative. Sir Darryl calls funeral homes, landlords, pharmacies and the like, with unusual requests. The responses from the company reps are either completely insane or absolutely logical, but they almost always follow company policy.

In one Spontaneous Research Call, Sir Darryl called a cellphone company to find out if they could send him a separate phone bill that his wife couldn’t see so that he could hide the fact that he was having multiple affairs. The customer service rep suggested different billing options and promising that the company would not reveal anything to his wife. The rep also detailed exactly how it could be done using the company’s various billing delivery systems.

reserved

It is shown not out of inability to converse or work with others, but instead permits them to be self-aware of whom, what, when, where, why and how they talk to people.
A reserved person may speak less in groups because they prefer to listen to what is being said, and who is saying it.
When they have formulated a contribution to a discussion, it's generally well thought out.
Reserved people garner the respect of their peers and do not seek to offend intentionally.
As opposed to an anti-social or asocial person, reserved people DO know how to talk to their peers and delight in interaction, although very brief.
This is not to be conflated with "socially awkward" or "socially retarded", or even "shy"; all of which stem from social anxiety, but hold some form of connection to being reserved.

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.
