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.
