mechanical conversation

A mechanical conversation consists of small talk. Usually found on the internet, but sometimes comes between two aquaintances who are waiting for something or someone. It is usually very choppy and awkward.

"Nice day, huh?" - man 1

"Oh, uh, ya." - man 2

"I'm really enjoying the sunshine." - man 1

Man 2 nods in recognition to Man 1's statement. (if on internet it would usually be an 'lol')

{awkward silence}

"So ummm.... how 'bout them Red Socks?" - man 1

later

"I had a very mechanical conversation why i was waiting for you earlier." - man 2

"Really? Awkward." - man 2's friend.

Conversational Probe

when your doctor gets chatty during a prostate exam

Lou had his annual physical, and after fasting he was in a very grumpy mood. when his doctor got to the point of "the finger", Lou felt him fishing around up there like he lost his keys. "so how the kids doing? everybody good? hmm... does that hurt" the doc asked during a very Conversational Probe. Lou thought to himself, "you have your finger in my ass what do u think dude"
