Small Talk

when you come across that person you haven’t seen in a while, but you really have no close connection with them anyways. but you know… you don’t want to be rude and just walk right past them… so then it turns to a complete bullsh-tting session between you and this aquiantence.

example conversation:

“yo! hey whats up man? what you been doing?”
“oh.. yeah i had a baby and sh-t…”
“oh thats cool…..”

“ok bye!”
“bye!”

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 d-mn 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.

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 cl-sses, 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 f-ckers won’t bl–dy well let us take c++ which would actually be practical!”
flexible fully object-oriented dynamically typed programming language.
