conversation thief

The man or woman who routinely steamrolls their way into a private conversation and makes it their own, usually stealing one conversation partner and leaving the other feeling jilted.

Common incident in staff rooms, classrooms, etc., where interesting conversations are few and far between.
Esmeralda: "Oh you're so funny Rufus, I would be so unhappy without you to talk to."
Rufus: "So I was wondering, well if you're not too busy tonight, maybe we could-"
Jean-Claude: (pokes Esmerelda) "Traffic was bad this morning..."

Rufus:(looking totally cast aside)"That fucking Jean-Claude... what a conversation thief!"
Tom: "Yeah."

seyelent conversation

another form of intelligence where communication is possible between two or more people with just the use of eye contact.
All it took was just one look and the two of them knew exactly everything that they needed to say-- in the most seductive sort of way. What happened between them was a "seyelent conversation."

OMG, Lorrie is the worst. The other day she called me and as soon as I said "Hello" she said "Hey" then started a conversation that I could not follow. Then she asked me what I was doing, and then back to the other person then me..... and so on, therefore becoming a Multi Conversationalist. Drives me BONKERS!!!!

double conversation

Usually through texting or IMing, two people are speaking to one another about a certain topic and during the delay on one of the person's responses, the other person puts in something irrelevant to what they are about to answer. When the other person finishes typing the first response, he/she then begin to respond to the irrelevant comment during the time the other person responds to the first answer. Thus continues a spiral of confusion which usually ends in them asking one another what they are talking about and what they are referring to, topic 1 or 2.
Jim: Hey did you see the new Tim Burton movie?
Anna: *Anna is typing...*
Jim: Oh and btw Lauren got a new puppy!
Anna: No I didn't see it yet. Is it good?
Jim: *Jim is typing...*
Anna: OMG a new puppy? What kind!
Jim: It was okay. More shitty music. I miss Danny Elfman's old stuff.
Jim: Its a chihuahua. Like her old one.
Anna:Yeah I miss it.
Jim: Yeah. It was so much more dynamic.
Anna: Wait.. what? Her old dog?
Jim: No, his music.
Anna: Whose music.
Jim: I'm confused..... sigh. I hate double conversations.
