Political Greeting

When you bump into a friend of a friend, or an ex, or your mates girlfriend your not that keen on and you have to say hello and pretend to have a brief conversation with them otherwise you look bad.
Bob: I bumped into Lucy the other day, she's so annoying but she's going out with my house mate at the moment so I just gave her the old political greeting and moved on.

Some Gangster Greetings involve slurring words together. Others consist of a word similar to that of "dog" but spelt rather elaborately. others include terms such as "Bro", "Homie"and "Nigga"
Geoffrey:Yo wazzzzzzup, Bro.

Greeting Distance

The optimum distance someone walking in the opposite direction should be before one smiles at them. If too far, there is an awkward few metres trying to avoid eye contact, if too close they may think you are shunning them. Get this right, and stage one of rapport building is complete.
Person 1: Mate, I had a massively awkward moment the other day...

Person 2: What happened?

Person 1: Well, I saw this girl I know at the other side of the park coming toward me; naturally I smiled and waved.

Person 2: So, what was the problem?

Person 1: Well, she smiled back, but we were still separated by a good fifty metres. I didn't want to keep eye contact because that would have looked weird, and I could hardly smile again; I just had to look at the floor for a little while... Was so awkward...

Person 2: Ah I see, classic example of not leaving an appropriate greeting distance.

Greeting Card

Slang for a person who’s only contributions to discussions are vague, positive statements. Nobody disagrees with them because there’s nothing of substance in what they say. They prevent issues from being discussed because the only response to their feel-good cliche is a quiet head nod or other innocuous affirmation. The conversation typically fizzles out because it’s easy to look like a jackass by detracting from the positive end note in a group setting.

Someone is a genuine Greeting Card when they truly believe their vague positivity accomplished something.

Someone can cynically act like a Greeting Card when they intentionally want to close a hard conversation where they may have to deal with uncomfortable topics or discussions. Watch politicians and corporate executives do it all the time.
"I think what we can all agree on is that the children’s safety is very important to all of us." – Jim, in a meeting

"Jim always kisses ass and only says obvious shit that means nothing. We never talk about how to actually fix things. Jim is such a freaking Greeting Card!" – Jane, to a friend after the meeting
