If someone says '
cut the small talk', it means that this pointless conversation is headed nowhere and has no meaning. It can be used when:
- The person is
tired of wasting their
time and energy talking or doing something with someone, feeling it is going nowhere
Applicable situations:
1) First encounter with a stranger, too much small talk
2) Multiple encounters with stranger, with nothing happening
3) Estranged family members, you mutually both wouldn't go out of your way to meet them after the event
Do not use if you:
- Will feel
awkward afterwards, or feel the need to talk to
people around you to prevent 'awkward silence'
- Have got no balls (applicable to male and female)
Do use if you:
- Would rather sit there in another persons company and not talk because theres no point.
