Conversation Foul

Similar to the effect of a "party foul" except in an environment in which those associated are experiencing a socially unacceptable disturbance in a conversation during a social gathering. Conversation Foul can come about from the 3 I's;

1.) Impulsive arrogance, like when someone asks a question only to answer before the other person can respond.

2.) Inappropriate, scandalous or any other interruptive topics containing subject matter departing from the original topic of a conversation. Such as someone's interruptive tale of having sex on the beach when in fact the group were referring to the cocktail made from vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice and cranberry juice.

3.) Incorrectly assumes the topic and interrupts a previously thriving conversation amongst a group of people with a question which does not coincide with its actual subject matter.

Or any disturbance in a flow of serene conversation which is then resulting in a lingering awkward atmosphere all while the guilty party is completely unaware due to a many number of reasons but usually it is because they are stupid, arrogant, or awkward.

Not to be confused with Autism, which is a serious developmental disorder which adversely affects the brain's ability to development social and communication skills
Justin: I think I'm going to have you sit this one out .

Sam: Wait, how come?

Justin: You wanna know? Fo realz?

Sam: Yes.

Justin: Sam, you are the worst at parties.

Sam: Why?

Justin: You just waltz all over to a stranger's conversation and commit massive conversation fouls which leave me unable to get laid by being associated with you.

Sam: That reminds me of the time I got so horny that I just...(awkward ending).

Justin: ...

Sam: What?

Conversation Pirate

Someone who is always taking over a conversation that they were not originally part of. The person is within earshot when you start a conversation, then as the conversation is commencing, the third party loudly interjects a comment designed to derail the conversation so that all attention is then upon them. Usually they follow this up with even louder and more outrageous jibberish.
Frank: So, Chuck what did you do this weekend?
Chuck: Saturday night was awesome, I banged two chicks at once!
Curt, sitting just within listening distance, prepares to board the conversation just like a pirate boarding and looting a ship on the open seas, yells: I banged twelve chicks once!
Curt: But I got syphilis....
Curt: I gave it to Hank last night.
Frank: Curt is such a Conversation Pirate!

Imposter converser syndrome

Imposter converser syndrome is that feeling you get when someone you know, usually more attractive and typically “out of your league”, messages you and starts a conversation up, and you believe they think you are someone else.

Usually it’s a sign of low confidence and previous traumas, and very unusually is it ever the case of a mistaken message.
Luxy had terrible imposter converser syndrome after Simon messaged her telling her she was awesome. She was convinced the message was for someone else, and not her.
