boomerasking

A 21st-century way to describe a conversational faux pas as old as time. "Boomerasking" - a play on boomerang - is the habit of asking questions of your interlocutor in the naked hope of having the same question asked in return.

For instance, asking a colleague "Are you going on holiday this year?" while cueing up a lengthy monologue on your own travel plans when they inevitably ask: "And you?".
This is a Boomerasking example
