To attempt to start a conversation with someone (whether it be a crush, your taxi driver, a classmate, a fellow hospital patient, a stranger you met on the street, your neighbor, etc.), even though you might get rejected or ignored altogether. Even if you do happen to strike out, it was all a calculated risk right? No big deal.
*A few people waiting in the checkout line at a grocery store*
1st person in line: (Thinks to self sarcastically) "Could this cashier go any slower?"
2nd person in line: (Looks around and begins to social gamble) "You like frosted flakes too huh? I used to eat it all the time when I was little."
1st person in line: (Turns around) "............"
3rd person in line: "They added a new cinnamon flavored one recently, tastes pretty good."
2nd person in line: (Turns around) "Really? I'll check it out the next time I come."
*First person in line leaves with bagged groceries while the conversation between the other two continues*

Get the corndog socialmug. 1. A nice person who tries to be a 'Social Butterfly', i.e. someone with the ability to be sociable or friendly with everyone, flitting from person to person in the way a butterfly might, but in a misguided attempt to be cool ends up knocking over everybody's drinks and being sick on the carpet.
2. A shitty person who claims to be a 'Social Butterfly', i.e. someone with the ability to be sociable or friendly with everyone, flitting from person to person in the way a butterfly might, but who is actually two-faced about it and tramples over people's feelings in order to achieve popularity.
