The First Law of Conversation

The First Law of Conversation (abbr. FLOC) states that one will always tune into a conversation at the most awkward point. Many linguists believe that this is God's punishment for eavesdropping.

"...And, on top of that, I had to go take my wang out of the tub drain!"
"What are you guys talking about?!"
"Oh, you just proved the First Law of Conversation, bitch!"

Conversational coma

Is a uncomfortable period of time of silence, in which two people who are usually in the beginning stages of a potential relationship, discover the horror of complete and utter silence. Usually this period of time is so long, that any hope of a sexual encounter is quickly extinguished.

My date was so hot! but my conversational coma kicked in thus i ended the night like i usually do, crying and masturbating.

adult conversation

A phrase used by American politicians to imply their opponent is acting like a child by supporting or opposing a certain position.

The irony of the phrase is that most children have an easier time compromising on divisive issues.

John Boehner: It is time we have an adult conversation about entitlement reform. Democrats need understand the reality of our fiscal situation.

President Obama: Well it's time that WE have an adult conversation about the budget.

Donald Trump: That's fine, but it is time we have an adult conversation about Obama's place of birth.

conversational puma

A Conversational Puma is a loud and opportunistic member of a conversation. The "puma" part comes from the person's tendency to "pounce" on you when you are trying to tell a story with loud interjections like "NO WAY" or "I KNOW". Though its debateable whether the conversational puma is truely interested in what you are saying or if he/she is just patronizing you, the story usually ends up being truncated for no other reason than to avoid being loudly interrupted.

This word was recently pioneered on the radio program Loveline by Adam Carolla.

Jesus christ, I hate that Suzy. I can't finish a single sentence with her without her pouncing on me with 'OMG' or something like that. She's such a conversational puma.
