"Garrison the conversation"

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".

drive by conversation

Usually happens on an instant messenger. A person will quickly sign on, leave you a rude remark, and then sign off before you have the chance to respond. It'd be harder to do in a person to person conversation because you could easily kill them.

computer message SoAndSo123 has signed on
SoAndSo123: You're gay
computer message SoAndSo123 has signed off
Me: Damn I've just been in a drive by conversation!

"by the way" conversation

Small talk used in bars to meet somebody. Comes off as non-threatening and casual, but effective for breaking the ice. Usually involves the discussion of some benign third party person or situation; i.e. the bartender, the weather or extremely drunk bar patrons.

Korey used his "by the way" conversation skills to introduce himself to two girls up at the bar in NYC over the weekend.
