Conversational Probe

when your doctor gets chatty during a prostate exam
Lou had his annual physical, and after fasting he was in a very grumpy mood. when his doctor got to the point of "the finger", Lou felt him fishing around up there like he lost his keys. "so how the kids doing? everybody good? hmm... does that hurt" the doc asked during a very Conversational Probe. Lou thought to himself, "you have your finger in my ass what do u think dude"

conversational decay

Conversational decay refers to the amount of time it takes for a conversation with a stranger to die down to stagnation.

In-person:

Let's say you met someone from your class or work for the first time and start talking about mutual interests, the decay of that conversation wouldn't be as quick. Therefore, it's reasonable to state that the conversational decay would be somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour.

Online:

If you meet someone on Discord for the first time and start a regular conversation with them, it is estimated that it may take between 1 minute to a few weeks for your conversation to completely stagnate with them.
The person Harry matched up with on Bumble seemed pretty promising but, the conversational decay was under 10 minutes.

mechanical conversation

A mechanical conversation consists of small talk. Usually found on the internet, but sometimes comes between two aquaintances who are waiting for something or someone. It is usually very choppy and awkward.
"Nice day, huh?" - man 1

"Oh, uh, ya." - man 2

"I'm really enjoying the sunshine." - man 1

Man 2 nods in recognition to Man 1's statement. (if on internet it would usually be an 'lol')

{awkward silence}

"So ummm.... how 'bout them Red Socks?" - man 1

later

"I had a very mechanical conversation why i was waiting for you earlier." - man 2

"Really? Awkward." - man 2's friend.

classic conversation

(1) a conversation held in an old-fashioned manner, usually face-to-face or on the phone; often used to denigrate old-fashioned bosses or old school parents

(2) a face-to-face conversation, as opposed to conversations via text, email, twitter or phone

(3) a conversation that instantly becomes memorable
If I had known we were going to break up via twitter, I would've asked for a classic conversation.

After all of the sexting, the classic conversation was a little weird.

My boss is old school. Doesn't do email and always wants a classic conversation.
