Tampanian Whisper

A phenomenon unique to Tampa, FL arising from social situations where strangers aren't sure whether to address each other with southern town-like hospitality or northern city-like aloofness, resulting in one or more strangers hesitantly whispering, mumbling, or even just mouthing pleasantries to each other while making minimal to no eye contact. Also a form of anomie.
