To consecrate neckties..."to utilize" something is to change it into a utile...

Unfortunately [cackle, cackle emoticon] IP isn't the first to come up with this. Not by a country mile! In the middle of the 19th century two of the "great" economists, Jeremy Benthan and David Hume, tried to quantify "utility" or "happiness/satisfaction". The units he chose to hold the value of happiness were called "utils".

To learn more about this death-defying quantification project and its outcome, read http://www.csupomona.edu/~rosenkrantz/egr402/reader11.htm

Then go out and measure how happy you are!
