scattershot

1. Externalizing an interior monologue in a crowded room, regardless of whether someone responds or not. Typically used to gather someone's attention, however if the person does not respond, then there is no social shame.

2. Incognito flirting. Questions or statements meant to further conversation, but if not followed up on, will not cause the speaker social shame.

1. "Before class, I wondered aloud where our teacher was. John heard my scattershot and chimed in."

2. "I scattershotted this chick who was working there, but she didn't pick up on it. I said she's always there on Tuesdays, and she was still in retail mode, didn't really respond."

Scantering

Walking without a definite purpose.

Where are you going, Maranda? Stop scantering about!

Scatter-talk

When someone (in conversation) changes the subject in mid-sentence or thought with no transition whatsoever.

When my sisters and I get together, we often engage in "scatter-talk", covering many subjects at once with no transition from subject to subject.

Skanter

Humerous 'banter' had while at work, preferably to the detriment of the work you are actually meant to be doing. A combination of the words 'skiving' and 'banter'.

Aw me and Dave were meant to be stacking shelves down the bread aisle, but instead we just sacked it and had some skanter in the lift.

Scatterogically

To speak scattered thoughts in a strategic manner

When Bob talked, he seemed to mumble all these words, but yet it made sense.

Yeah, he was talking scatterogically
