strike up a conversation

to make, begin, start, commence

guess I’m just not all that sensible. Then one day I strike up a conversation with a lovely young woman named Angelica at a party who didn’t know what my movie was called, but she knew where I could find it for sure For sure?

conversation hostage

1) someone who is trapped in a conversation against their will. often they will try to change the subject, but no matter how many times they do, the conversation always moves back to the original subject. 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.

2) to hold someone conversation hostage

1) Jemma was forced to listen to Daisy talk about her dad and Burger King for an hour because she had no means of escape. Boy did she get held conversation hostage!

2) man, that Daisy held Jemma conversation hostage for an hour talking about Burger King! She's such a conversation jailer!

reverse conversation

When you try to remember the ideas of a conversation in reverse to remember the original topic.

When we get high we talk so much we forget things that we talked about. This is when we must have a reverse conversation to remember what was said earlier

conversation bumper

A person who is in a deep conversation, and all of the sudden says a random thing, sentence, or thought, that kills the conversation.

Much like a speed bump, it slows you down, and leaves you confused, stranded, and a little freaked out.

Shelly: Hey, so how was your date last night?!
Clara: zomg you'll never guess what James did last night...
Shelly: what?!!
Clara:... hmmm... today my dog got a bath. he doesn't like water. you should have seen him squirm! hehe i like dogs! do you like dogs?
Shelly:..... conversation bumper much?!

Cover and Hover

When you enter a public restroom and it's so disgusting that not only do you lay a seat cover down, but you hover over it too.

"I went to the public restroom at the beach and I couldn't tell if the seat had water droplets or pee droplets on it, so I decided to cover AND hover."
