Piss Posturing = Personal Interest in Social Situations (PISS). Some people fake that they have a sincere personal interest towards one
individual in front of others in a social situation. Imagine a CEO
holding court at a work function dinner table asking questions of a new junior associate. In the case of Piss Posturing, BOTH the person showing the interest, and the person receiving the interest KNOW that the person showing the interest doesn't give a damn about the other person. It's purely a SHOW, a posturing, to show others how personable and humble the person showing the interest is.
The person being shown attention feels as if he/she is being PISSED ON, and both he and the other person know it. Down deep, despite smiles on the faces, the junior associate is thinking "
You don't care about me, you're pissing all over me in front of these people and there's nothing I can do about it."
She's an annoying Piss Posturing
socialite. She showed a lot of interest in me at the
dinner table, but couldn't remember my name when we left
the party.
