A completely Object Oriented (OO) language that was created to be as easy as smalltalk (chit-chat). In actuality, it's the programmer's bane, driving otherwise sane individuals, particularly college students who take Smalltalk classes, to bouts of heavy drinking, depression, and in some cases, suicidal tendencies.
Student 1 - "Why oh why do we have to take smalltalk?"
Student 2 (Whilst drinking heavily from a handle of rum) - "Because those fuckers won't bloody well let us take C++ which would actually be practical!"

Get the Small Talk mug.A bullshit social ritual where people decide to talk about the weather and how they're doing instead of topics that are actually interesting and fun to talk about. People often resort to small talk to avoid being awkward and as a way to conform to acting normal or expected.

Get the small talk mug.The act of supplying a person with irrelevant information about oneself in an attempt to appear friendly and normal to a person one is meeting for the first time. This practice I'd particularly important to extroverts (people who take pleasure in spewing random bits of their life stories at anybody who will listen,) who use it to try to judge and impress others with the ability to observe the weather and remember how many siblings they have. Unfortunately, these skills are widely regarded by introverts as both unimpressive and anyway pointless due to the fact that introverts and extroverts alike do not usually give a damn about how long their neighbors have been married and are not likely to remember unless their neighbors are close friends, in which case small talk usually isn't used anyway. Note: all people resort to small talk in uncomfortable situations.
Person 1: How was the new Star Trek movie?
Person 2: It was great except the people I went with have never even watched any other Star Trek before. Most of the car ride was awkward small talk.
