quantum conversation 

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.

"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".

Conversation Cockblock 

A word that immediately stops a conversation. It makes the other person feels so awkward that they end the conversation themselves.
