Sybil Trelawney 

The act of abruptly stopping previous actions (i.e. conversation), turning one's head and looking blankly off into space after one has developed a deep thought and cannot help but interpret its meaning.

Corey: "Yeah, so I was doing my Honors Physics homework with my boyz James, Dapo, Dan, Noam, and the rest of my peepz when..." (looks off into space)
Cristina: "Yo! Corey just pulled a Sybil Trelawney in this motha!!! Whatchu thinkin' bout, Corey?"

Raven from That's So Raven has mastered the "Sybil Trelawney". Raven may try to act like she originated the gesture, but Sybil Trelawney is the original gangsta.

Trelyne is a kind friend who will be there for the ones who are there for her. She is a good dancer and is always able to teach her dance moves to her friends. She stands up for what she believes and always gets her voice to be heard, and if her voice does not get heard she will raise her voice to be heard. If you talk behind her or her friends she will confront you about it and make sure you are sorry for what you have done. She is a very funny person who will crack you up in just moments after you meet her. Once you meet a Trelyne you will never forget her in your life.
Marilyn: OMG she is so funny!
Arianna:Who is so funny?
Marilyn: Trelyne have you ever met her?
Arianna: No I don't think so.
Marilyn: You would love her!

Marilyn: Of coarse everyone loves her!
Arianna: Well I can't wait to meet her!
Marilyn: Oh here she comes "Trelyne!".
Trelyne: Oh Hi!
Marilyn: Trelyne this is my friend Arianna, Arianna this is my friend Trelyne!
Trelyne: Hi Arianna!
Arianna: Hi Trelyne.
Trelyne: Can I tell you guys a joke?
Marilyn: Of coarse you always have pretty funny jokes!

Sybil Trelawney 

A crazy divination teacher from the Harry Potter series. Trelawney is always predicting Harry's death. While most (even Dumbledore) say she's delusional and paranoid, her predictions are usually right in one way or another.
Harry: Really, I swear.
Trelawney: Yeah, whatever.

Trelawney effect 

1. a person or organization whom makes unorthodox references, actions, implications, crazy juxtapositions, threats, looming etc. in an all out and defensive manner that resemble Professor Sybill Patricia Trelawney from J.K. Rowling Harry Potter series, when she is receiving an "performance audit"-like interrogation by Dolores Umbridge, when their usefulness is challenged.

2. a person or government bureaucracy whom commits a slippery slope or camel's nose fallacy through an exceptionally egregious manner in an effort to justify their perpetual existence.
Auditor Smith: The department I just audited is suffering from the Trelawney effect (or Sybill effect).

Auditor James: What did they do?

Auditor Smith: Told us that if we didn't leave this instant and stop disrupting them, then that the planet's core was going to mutate causing a cataclysmic and irreversible instability, our ears would sprout brain eating butterflies, every volcano on Earth would simultaneously erupt, and one out of ever forth human being would transform into a brain and blood sucking zombie/vampire.

Auditor James: What department were you auditing?

Auditor Smith: Congress.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

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.
