conversation hostage

Sometimes, it is avoidable, but there are many scenarios where one cannot escape - eg, in college/school where one is sat at the same desk as a conversation jailer.

reverse conversation

When you try to remember the ideas of a conversation in reverse to remember the original topic.

When we get high we talk so much we forget things that we talked about. This is when we must have a reverse conversation to remember what was said earlier

conversation bumper

A person who is in a deep conversation, and all of the sudden says a random thing, sentence, or thought, that kills the conversation.

Much like a speed bump, it slows you down, and leaves you confused, stranded, and a little freaked out.

Shelly: Hey, so how was your date last night?!
Clara: zomg you'll never guess what James did last night...
Shelly: what?!!
Clara:... hmmm... today my dog got a bath. he doesn't like water. you should have seen him squirm! hehe i like dogs! do you like dogs?
Shelly:..... conversation bumper much?!
