Piss Posturing = Personal Interest in Social Situations (PISS). Some people
fake that they have a sincere personal interest towards
one individual in
front of others in a social situation. Imagine a CEO holding court at a
work function dinner table asking questions of a new junior associate. In the
case of Piss Posturing, BOTH the person showing the interest, and the person receiving the interest KNOW that the person showing the interest doesn't give a damn about the other person. It'
s purely a SHOW, a posturing, to show others how personable and humble the person showing the interest is.
The person being shown attention feels as if he/she is being PISSED ON, and both he and the other person know it. Down deep, despite smiles on the faces, the junior associate is thinking "You
don't care about me, you're pissing all over me in
front of these people and there's nothing I can do about it."
