A term used by Israelis, which is used when someone wants to quickly (and often very bluntly) get to the point. Tachlis is all about efficiency and getting to the best solution or the point as quickly as possible, without concern for feelings or flowery language.
"I saw the report you sent out, tachlis, I think you missed the point. You should redo it."
"I met a nice guy the other night... tachlis, I'm pregnant, what do I do?"

Tachlis is the Israeli one-word synonym for "Cut the crap", "Stop beating around the bush", "Get to the point". Practically it means "Let's get down to business". A straightforward, down to earth expression without any magniloquence
It's all nice and beautiful, but tachlis now, just do it!

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.
