"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

GAS. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

'I'm not very good at mingling.'

'I'm Marcus and I'll be listening in on your conversations this evening.'

The Tangents talk it over.

"Just this once, can we not talk about news or politics or money or family or relationships or children or friends or sex or religion or sports or culture or real estate or the past or the future?"

"Since I hate small talk and I hate big talk, I guess I won't be talking."

'Cut both both short. Hair and the conversation!'

'This is the last time that I go to a party for Economists.'

"Boy, have they got your number!"

"We're still talkng birds and bees, right?"

'I've never been good at public squeaking!'
