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"

Robbing the conversation

When a complete asshole takes over a private conversation already in progress an ignores one of the people previously in the conversation.

If one does this to his friends, he will soon have none.
Jason is hanging out with Seth and Brad and just talking about whatever. John comes in and starts talking about other shit that Jason isn't a part of, forcing him out of the conversation.

Eventually, Seth and Brad catch on that he is robbing the conversation and they beat the snot out of John.

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.

Conversation Napalm

A scorched earth approach to obliterating someone's conversation that is not your own.
Interrupting a conversation and quickly dominating the topic, or changing it entirely.

Much like Conversation Hijack, but with a militant approach.
Jody and I were having a private conversation when Carol walked in, asked us what we were talking about, and then quickly changed the topic to something she was interested in - Obliterating our conversation with Conversation Napalm.
