Conversational Cockblock

Whenever you're talking to somebody, and no matter what or how many witty or interesting things you say, they reply with things such as, "cool" or "yeah." They won't allow a good conversation by making it suck with their one word answers.

Debbie: "I was texting Conrad last night."
Sally: "What did you guys talk about?"
Debbie: "More like, "what did I talk about?" because he was being a conversational cockblock the whole time."

Conversational Supremacy

The state of euphoria in which you more or less dictate a conversation. Usually achieved through some combination of a strong personality, an energized mood, respect and intrigue from your audience, and a string of successful jokes/valid points. In such a state, the people you're shmoozing with will tend to agree with most of the things you say, and laugh at even your mildly funny jokes. You also possess the power to dismiss topics or people you're uninterested in from the conversation, usually by either remaining silent or comically pointing out a flaw in reasoning or the unfunniness of a joke. In short, you are the alpha.

The person enjoying Conversational Supremacy: "Look at that dude who just ordered the chai and the muffin. Sporting not one but two fanny packs."

The friends around the table: *Raucous laughter

CS: "Talk about a panty peeler"

*more laughter

The friend that nobody likes: "Wouldn't it be so funny if we all wore those one day, but like as satchels or someth..."

CS: "Just stop. that's really stupid."

*laughter from the group

CS: "So who's up for a movie night?"

*animated response from the group

conversational auto pilot

when you either dont give a shit about what someone is trying to talk to you about, or you are busy doing something else to pay any attention to them

an example of conversational auto pilot is when you respond to someone with short answers that in no way carry the conversation.

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"

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.
