conversational reflexes

1. how deftly an individual can adapt a story or sentence they are currently telling to steer the mood of the listeners in their favor

2. how quickly an individual can fabricate a believable story while under scrutiny

A real-life instance of good Conversational Reflexes:

I just was going 125mph in my rental car 10min before reaching a security checkpoint.

Officer: "is that a rental? how fast does it go?"

Me: "I wouldn't know, this car is really slow"

I’m leaving the office now, I am going to army crawl to the door so I don’t get snatched by the conversation pouncer, if you don’t hear from me in 15 minutes, please start a fire in the building so I can be released from the jaws of this predator.

coyote conversation

When someone starts a conversation, then keeps talking without shutting up and traps you in an endless stream of babble until you are ready to do anything, even chewing your own arm off to escape!

She started off talking about her latest relationship and went on and on without stopping. After half an hour, I literally had to pretend that I was sick and ran to the bathroom to get away. It was a total coyote conversation!
