"Garrison the conversation"

To unabashedly powersteer the topic of conversation back to what you want to talk about, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Person 1: "So anyway, that pretty much sums up me and Sunni's problems these days."

Person 2: "I'm sorry man. I hope it gets better soon! .....hey, did I ever tell you about my girlfriend from two years ago? She had this thing where she would always....."

(Person 1 interrupts, totally not listening or caring about what person 2 was saying in any form or fashion)

Person 1: "WELL, honestly, I just don't know what Sunni is thinking these days, or why these problems are even happening...."

(Person 2 feels ignored and annoyed)

Person 1 has shown an example of how to "Garrison the conversation".

End of Meaningful Conversation

When your friend IM's you about something random and then never responds to your answer.
friend: hey you back in your dorm room?
you: yeah
no response to this leaves you wondering what the heck the person wanted and was the end of meaningful conversation.

Conversation Transfer Effect

When two or more people are having a conversation and something is said that when taken out of context makes absolutely no sense, and a seperate person or group hears that particular phrase. This can result in a multitude of reactions from the group that overheard the conversation with the standard "What the hell are you talking about?!" being most common.
Guy 1 talking to his friends: Dude I had the wierdest dream last night, I was naked riding through the supermarket on a unicorn with Justin Bieber.

Guy 2 who overheard them: WTF are you talking about, all I heard was naked with Justin Bieber?!

Guy 1: sorry, it was the conversation transfer effect, I was talking about a dream.
