Conversation Trap

Bumping into someone you want to avoid that ends up with them leading you into a lengthy conversation that you can't escape. It's a very subtle guilt trip. You awkwardly feel obligated to keep on listening to them, knowing well if you attempt to cut it short, you'll come off as some sort of inconsiderate asshole.
"I was just about to get on the elevator when I bumped into Gabby. I knew I've just stepped into a conversation trap. For 30 agonizing minutes she was bragging to me with her annoying voice about all her nieces' and nephews' accomplishments in grade school. GOD! I wish I had some Q-Tips so I can fucking punch them into my eardrums. At least I'd have an an excuse not to listen to her."

Conversion Therapy

One of the worst religous practices to exist in the United States, due to its controversial methods. Many of the poor people who attend there are scarred for life or commit suicide later on.

Conversation Starter

A question or topic that creates a dialogue between two or more people. These 'starters' are some of the most elusive and hard to think of bastards on the face of the Earth, and without them one is left with awkward silence. A lack of starters is common at the beginning of a relationship, when speaking to someone not entirely familiar to the speaker, or when conversing with any female.
Guy: Hey what's up?
Girl: Nothin' much....
(awkward silence)
Girl: Well, see ya later......
Guy's totally deprived penis: Blast! why couldn't i think of a conversation starter?

Self Conversation

when reading others previous comments on a post board, forum, bulliten, etc. you comment underneath them and just comment on the board(or whatever it is) to yourself about whatever they were saying or just something completely random a few times.
Clara: haha did you see that hottt guy?
(about 12 hours later...)
Danica: haha yeah he wasn't Clara!
Clara: yeah huh!

(about 36 hours later)
Isabella: I WANNA SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!!
Isabella: now, explain Clara and Danica, what did he look like!?
Isabella: I bet he was hot.
Isabella: Dude, did you guys see that one dude at the fair?

Isabella: Oh great. I have to go.
(about 2 hours later...)
Danica: Isabella, wow. You were having another Self Conversation.
Danica: Nice Job.
Danica: OH NO! Now I'm having one.
(bout 1 hour later..)
Clara: haha what losers.

Direct Conversation

I think a direct conversation where peoples speak face to face or directly or straight conversation clears up alot of misunderstandings and confusion.

conversational decay

Conversational decay refers to the amount of time it takes for a conversation with a stranger to die down to stagnation.

In-person:

Let's say you met someone from your class or work for the first time and start talking about mutual interests, the decay of that conversation wouldn't be as quick. Therefore, it's reasonable to state that the conversational decay would be somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour.

Online:

If you meet someone on Discord for the first time and start a regular conversation with them, it is estimated that it may take between 1 minute to a few weeks for your conversation to completely stagnate with them.
The person Harry matched up with on Bumble seemed pretty promising but, the conversational decay was under 10 minutes.
