Transcendental 

Although previously taken as a way of thinking in the 1800's, especially by people such as Thoreau, the modern way of perceiving the word "transcendental" can be redefined.

Someone is transcendental when he/she is a freaking boss/beast/pro. Someone who transcends is someone who can go beyond even the highest level of skill.
Person 1: "Dude, check out that kid, he's such a beast."
Person 2: "Nah mang, he's better than that. He's transcendental."

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?
