When you're talking with someone who says stuff you can't make sense out of, so you treat their sentences as a superposition of all possible interpretations and reply to them generically enough such that when the point finally becomes clear, all your previous replies still make sense and you didn't end up having to make a fool out of yourself along the way.
I've had such a quantum conversation with my friend again. Thankfully I finally managed to understand what he was on about before I agreed to something stupid.

To unabashedly powersteer the topic of conversation back to what you want to talk about, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Person 1: "So anyway, that pretty much sums up me and Sunni's problems these days."
Person 2: "I'm sorry man. I hope it gets better soon! .....hey, did I ever tell you about my girlfriend from two years ago? She had this thing where she would always....."
(Person 1 interrupts, totally not listening or caring about what person 2 was saying in any form or fashion)
Person 1: "WELL, honestly, I just don't know what Sunni is thinking these days, or why these problems are even happening...."
(Person 2 feels ignored and annoyed)
Person 1 has shown an example of how to "Garrison the conversation".

The state of euphoria in which you more or less dictate a conversation. Usually achieved through some combination of a strong personality, an energized mood, respect and intrigue from your audience, and a string of successful jokes/valid points. In such a state, the people you're shmoozing with will tend to agree with most of the things you say, and laugh at even your mildly funny jokes. You also possess the power to dismiss topics or people you're uninterested in from the conversation, usually by either remaining silent or comically pointing out a flaw in reasoning or the unfunniness of a joke. In short, you are the alpha.
The person enjoying Conversational Supremacy: "Look at that dude who just ordered the chai and the muffin. Sporting not one but two fanny packs."
The friends around the table: *Raucous laughter
CS: "Talk about a panty peeler"
*more laughter
The friend that nobody likes: "Wouldn't it be so funny if we all wore those one day, but like as satchels or someth..."
CS: "Just stop. that's really stupid."
*laughter from the group
CS: "So who's up for a movie night?"
*animated response from the group

Whenever you're talking to somebody, and no matter what or how many witty or interesting things you say, they reply with things such as, "cool" or "yeah." They won't allow a good conversation by making it suck with their one word answers.
Debbie: "I was texting Conrad last night."
Sally: "What did you guys talk about?"
Debbie: "More like, "what did I talk about?" because he was being a conversational cockblock the whole time."
