"by the way" conversation

Small talk used in bars to meet somebody. Comes off as non-threatening and casual, but effective for breaking the ice. Usually involves the discussion of some benign third party person or situation; i.e. the bartender, the weather or extremely drunk bar patrons.

Korey used his "by the way" conversation skills to introduce himself to two girls up at the bar in NYC over the weekend.

drive-by-the-way

A set of seemingly innocuous questions, usually appearing at a time when an email thread appears to be resolved, not necessarily from one's management chain, derailing any semblance of a process of executing against deadlines.

Engineer A: How's your project going?
Engineer B: It's not, I got drive-by-the-wayed by Product Managers all day.

By The Way...

When someone talks or brags about something so much, it makes you want to shoot them in the face and it then becomes the only thing you can remember about them.

Person A
Wow gas is expensive these days isn't it?

Person B
Oh well I just bought a hybrid so it's not so bad for me. I mean I barely fill up anymore. And since I have a hybrid and I can drive in the carpool lane
too. Yeah having a hybrid is so great I mean I can do so much more with my hybrid.

Person A
Oh my god, by the way... I have a hybrid.
