conversational fore-play

When someone wants to talk to you but instead of getting to the point, they skirt around the issue by talking about other, less important things. Also when there is a big point to make, but you are nervous and can't get right into the big point without telling a meaningless story or two.
My Boss: Well, Kevin, I wanted to talk to you today. Please sit down.
Me: Is there a problem Jesse?
My Boss: Not really, but how are you doing today Kevin?
Me: I'm doing fine I guess. But what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
My Boss: Don't worry, we'll get to that. First, I want to tell you about when I started with the company ten years ag-
Me: Look Jesse, I have a lot of reports to run, so if you don't mind cutting out the conversational fore-play, and let's talk business?

(Actual conversational foreplay with my boss)

conversatin 

This could perhaps be 'conversating' less the last letter. However, this definition does require the word 'conversating' to exist. It does not. Therefore it is far more likely thats it is a mispelled version of 'conversation'.
don't abrieviate words that dont exist, you spaz

Nonversation 

A conversation in which words are exchanged between people — often co-workers — but nothing is really said.
Two office colleagues bump into each other in the hallway. This is them having a nonversation:

Office worker #1: Hey, so I heard it went well.

Office worker #2: Yup. Went great.
Office worker #1: Glad to hear. And we're still good for Tuesday?
Office worker #2: Yup. Nothing's changed.

Office worker #1: Great. Well let me know if anything does.
Office worker #2: Of course.
Office worker #1: Ok, great. Thanks.

Talking on the phone while you're using the toilet.

two-point conversion 

the two-point conversion occurs when a man is having unprotected anal sex with another man. upon reaching orgasm and ejaculating in his partner's anus, he screams "TOUCHDOWN!", and punches his partner in the testicles.
"I can't believe Derek went for the two-point conversion last night; my nuts are still sore!"
