A very sophisticated way of showing disinterest towards someone confiding something personal to you, and a deliberately poor attempt at relating, by being vague about similarities you can't or won't get into.

It's a direct quote from the character Walter White from Breaking Bad:

Hank has a drink with Walt and goes on a monologue about his old job of tagging trees to be cut down.

Hank says, “Tagging trees is a lot better than chasing monsters”. After a long pause Walt replies, “I used to love to go camping”.

Should only be used on e.g toxic people who traumadump on you, or people who've seen Breaking Bad way too much and will partly be in on the "joke".

Annoying person: So long story short, he kept cheating on me for 5 more years, and after all this mess I'm completely through with dating.

You: Yeah, I used to love to go camping.

Nodev Making Love to a Tree

In the life of the average Nodev he is met with a special mating event where he will find a tree, and start making sexually suggestive love gestures to it, until it will ruthlessly try to breed it to no avail. this event could be very lethal to some Nodev's as it endangers their very hope of getting loved by other inanimate beings or humans. Today, we know that for a Nodev to get a partner is a once in a lifetime event.

oh wow that's a Nodev Making Love to a Tree... that is so cool and rare. poor Nodev
