Conversational Starfishing

When one person is driving the conversation and the other party only responds in small, unenthusiastic doses.

Dave: "Hey, are you going on a date with that girl you met the other day?"
Jackson: "No. I tried to set something up, but she started Conversational Starfishing every time I tried to find out more about her interests."

conversation-context nicknaming

Da uproarious act of playfully referring to yer present-company individual by one or more words dat he has just said to ya in yer back-and-forth light-banter-speech, often to jokingly mean dat ya think dat da other person either is presently being silly or is silly-natured overall. For example, if ya are having "huggy-roughhousing" fun wif a pretty girl by folding her legs up, plopping her cute warm rubbery feet against yer chest, gripping her hands to both savor their warm softness and steady yerself, and then leaning forward to press her knees against her chest while smilingly saying, "Squish-ish-ish-ish-squish-squash!", said "folded-up" chick gigglingly retorts, "YOU'RE a 'squish-squash'!"

Another example of conversation-context nicknaming would be if ya eye-twinklingly warbled, "Ding-dong!" to someone inside a building after ya had passed through an electric-eye-equipped door and thus rang an electric bell on yer way in, and da person inside chuckled back, "YOU'RE a 'ding-dong'!" Or if ya and a friend were assembling/servicing something together, and ya said, "Since we'll likely be needing to frequently loosen and tighten this particular fastening, I think we might want to use a wingnut here," yer helper "jumped at da chance" to toss a playful barb yer way by responding, "YOU'RE a wingnut!"

A conversation between equals

You didn't want to be equal! You wanted to be authoritative wisdom guy that eveyone has to respect and listen to!

Hym "A conversation between equals... That's not an allusion to me, is it? Because, like, I don't consider you equal, therefore, you're justified in excluding me? Because you didn't think we were equal, initially. You though I was incompetent incel schizoid and that you were extra-special competent prophet. AND NOW THAT IT CLEAR THAT EQUALITY ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE BETWEEN ME AND ANYONE ELSE... NOW... You care about EQUALITY. You were just saying incels were weasels and reprehensible. And then Piers Morgan called them deplorable and you did a complete 180⁰. And said we shouldn't be piling on. And NOW... That I DON'T THINK YOU... Are equal... Well now MY POSITION ON EQUALITY is (somehow) the problem. NOT BACK WHEN YOU WERE ARGUABLY THE BETTER ONE... Now that it's ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY clear who the better one is.... NOW I NEED TO START CONSIDERING PEOPLE MY EQUALS... But only NOW... After I created A.I. after years of being mocked, harassed, and shamed.... Now we're equal... That's what you want from me now?"

An activity lost to time, only seen in digital recreations. Ancient reconstructions show it was actually the origin of language.

Conversation examples include,
EX1:

IndividualA: Did you see the game last night?

IndividualB: Why you talkin like that bro

EX3:
IndividualA: Have you anything to say to your creator... before you strike him down?
IndividualB: No.
