The type of conversation held with another person when you really do not wish to talk to them. It consists of short and to the point replies which do not add to the conversation and make it hard for the other person to continue. It is usually to try and convey politely that you do not have the time for this oxygen thief who insists on bothering you.
A typical nonversation goes as follows-
"So how are you today?"
"Okay."
"What have you been up to?"
"Not much."
"So how are you today?"
"Okay."
"What have you been up to?"

A nonversation is simply a conversation with someone who you do not wish to talk with, therefore using as many one word answers as possible, hoping that they get the hint.

A non-converation where two or more people greet each other but do not follow with a conversation, but instead follow with an awkward silence, that can result in figeting and short quick glances around the room.
Zack: So, how did you like my friend Michael?
Matthew: He's really nice, but after you left we had a really weird nonversation. It was really awkward!
Zack: Man, I hate those.

A nonversation occurs when someone talks to you (most commonly on a social networking site or via text) about something you don't care about and can't really answer back to.
If you're ever in the situation where someone is talking AT you and your brain says "I don't actually care" then you're in a 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.
