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.

classic conversation

(1) a conversation held in an old-fashioned manner, usually face-to-face or on the phone; often used to denigrate old-fashioned bosses or old school parents

(2) a face-to-face conversation, as opposed to conversations via text, email, twitter or phone

(3) a conversation that instantly becomes memorable

If I had known we were going to break up via twitter, I would've asked for a classic conversation.

After all of the sexting, the classic conversation was a little weird.

My boss is old school. Doesn't do email and always wants a classic conversation.

necro-conversing

Rehashing an old conversation.

"Remember when we talked about your brain being the size of your nipple?"
"No... Was I drunk? It's way too early in the morning for necro-conversing."

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.

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.

Conversation Rape

When someone unconsensually overtakes a conversation, allowing no other party to speak and most often speaking only of themselves and their past glories.

I.e. Thomas talking everyone's face off last night was such a conversation rape.

I.e. Don't get caught downstairs with P.T., he's a conversation rapist.
