(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.

Stealing the conversation

It's when one uninvolved and uninvited asshole barges in on a private conversation, and dominates it to the exclusion of one of the original people who was conversing. This can be a form of cockblocking.
Jason: John is a complete asshole. Notice how he is always stealing the conversation?

Joe: Yeah, what a fucking cockblocker!

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.

fail conversation

When two people are speaking to each other about the same thing, but are not on the same wave length. They are both making the same point but think that the other misunderstands. This often ends in extreme bouts of laughter because both parties involved realize their stupidity.
A: I think we should go to the grocery store first because I need to get bread.
B: No! We need to go to the grocery store first.
A: I know, that's what I said.
B: No, you need to get bread.
A: But why would you want to go the grocery store first?
B: Because you need to get bread you just said that.
A: Hold on, let's just go to the grocery store first since we both want to go there first!
B:What a fail conversation we just had!

End in lolz.
