When two or more people are having a conversation and something is said that when taken out of context makes absolutely no sense, and a seperate person or group hears that particular phrase. This can result in a multitude of reactions from the group that overheard the conversation with the standard "What the hell are you talking about?!" being most common.
Guy 1 talking to his friends: Dude I had the wierdest dream last night, I was naked riding through the supermarket on a unicorn with Justin Bieber.

Guy 2 who overheard them: WTF are you talking about, all I heard was naked with Justin Bieber?!

Guy 1: sorry, it was the conversation transfer effect, I was talking about a dream.
