Nan conversation

A monotonous, uninspiring conversation in the style typically had by two elderly women pulling granny trolleys along a cul-de-sac in Weston-Supermare on an overcast day.

I can't go on another date again, he has no personality and we just end up having "Nan conversation":

Vera: Hello there, dear. How are you today?

Nora: Oh, I'm doing alright, I suppose. Just feeling a bit tired today.

Vera: I know what you mean. I woke up with a headache this morning.

Nora: Oh no, that's not good. Have you tried taking anything for it?

Vera: Yes, I took some aspirin. It seems to be helping a bit.

Nora: That's good. I hate when I have a headache. It can really ruin your day.

Vera: Indeed it can. So, have you been up to anything interesting lately?

Nora: No, not really. Just been knitting and reading mostly. What about you?

Vera: Same here. I've been reading some romance novels lately.

Nora: Oh, I used to love those when I was younger. I don't have the patience for them anymore.

Conversational Pipebomb

A conversational pipebomb is when someone (usually the guy only kept around out of pity) destroys all momentum of a social interaction with a single phrase or opinion typically awkward, offensive, or ignorant. This usually results in:

1. everybody in the group becoming angry and the once civil conversation devolving into an argument

2. total silence occasionally interrupted with a half hearted attempt at a joke or topic (which is always shot down)

3.everybody leaving

John: Did you guys hear about that shooting recently?

Dave: The one down in Texas?

Steve: YEAH! Really fucked up stuff!

Hunter: Yeah, for sure but I mean those kids were kinda asking for it.

Steve:..... That's a conversational pipebomb if I've ever heard one
