conversational graffitti

When somebody writes a response to graffitti that is already on restroom wall

I used the restroom at a truckstop and somebody had written on the inside of the stall "Bush's head is so far up his ass that his sphinctor is wrapped around his neck and is cutting off oxygen to his brain". Underneath that I wrote "what brain?". This is an example of conversational graffitti.

conversational puma 

A Conversational Puma is a loud and opportunistic member of a conversation. The "puma" part comes from the person's tendency to "pounce" on you when you are trying to tell a story with loud interjections like "NO WAY" or "I KNOW". Though its debateable whether the conversational puma is truely interested in what you are saying or if he/she is just patronizing you, the story usually ends up being truncated for no other reason than to avoid being loudly interrupted.

This word was recently pioneered on the radio program Loveline by Adam Carolla.

Jesus christ, I hate that Suzy. I can't finish a single sentence with her without her pouncing on me with 'OMG' or something like that. She's such a conversational puma.
