conversational puma

A Conversational Puma is a loud and opportunistic member of a conversation. The "puma" part comes from the person's tendency to "pounce" on you when you are trying to tell a story with loud interjections like "NO WAY" or "I KNOW". Though its debateable whether the conversational puma is truely interested in what you are saying or if he/she is just patronizing you, the story usually ends up being truncated for no other reason than to avoid being loudly interrupted.

This word was recently pioneered on the radio program Loveline by Adam Carolla.
Jesus christ, I hate that Suzy. I can't finish a single sentence with her without her pouncing on me with 'OMG' or something like that. She's such a conversational puma.

jailhouse conversion

A sudden shift in belief systems (usually finding Jesus, but also Allah and probably every other Deity) after a period of incarceration. Usually a ploy for leniency with the legal system. Oddly, given the separation of church and state that we're supposed to have in this country, it does sometimes seem to have a positive effect when going to talk to the judge/parole board. Everyone from your local meth dealer to Manuel Noriega, Dictator of Panama have tried this one, making it one of the truly "oldest ones in the book".
typical jailhouse conversion:

Crack Dealer: Your Honor, I found Jesus in the Dade County Jail.

Judge: Big deal, this is Florida, every third guy in there is named Jesus....

Shower conversation

A conversation in which one expresses all of their points in the exact ideal way of doing so, involving all possible arguments and pieces of evidence; i.e. a situation where one does not think of additional insults or supporting ideas in the shower, after a disagreement has concluded.
"Luke said that he doesn't get too close to girls when he talks to them, I told him that's exactly what he does and everything that everyone has always wanted to say to him. Get fucked Luke."

"Sounds like a right shower conversation. He got fucked."

"Yeah."

conversation hostage

Sometimes, it is avoidable, but there are many scenarios where one cannot escape - eg, in college/school where one is sat at the same desk as a conversation jailer.
