These are a few terms I found on UrbanDictionary.com that just amused me, or seem to fit current situations (in which I'm left standing there and wondering why I talk to these people):
Verbal Handcuffs
When someone won't stop talking (usually about a subject you have no interest in). The talker has verbally forced you to stand there there and listen, even though you have given many clues that you have checked out. Examples: vacant stares, looking at your watch, checking your phone, answering in short one word phrases.
Recrap
To sum up a discussion composed largely of useless bullshit.
Self-Defecating
To unintentionally demean one's self. To unthinkingly place one's self in an unflattering light.
Best-Behaviour Friend
(way too many of these people, will be pruning friendlist again SOON)
Also known as 'BBF'; a friend whom you have very little in common with and you act on your best-behavior when you're with.
A best-behavior friend does not typically know the extent of your true character or transgressions because you misrepresent the truth to make yourself look good or innocent. A person with a best-behavior friendship may see the friendship as important or long-standing and so lying about situations or leaving out key facts becomes common.
Mutually Assured Distraction (these are fun people twisted )
The practice of distracting others in a manner assuring that neither party gets any work done.
Head Splinter (I like these most of the time)
A painfully annoying song that gets stuck in your head, in extreme cases, impeding everyday tasks.
To Your Point
Phrase used to contradict another person's ideas, while making it feel like you have agreed with them.
Mantrum
when a grown man throws a tantrum when he can't have his way.
Put the Boot In
Kicking somebody when they're down
Aggressive Passive (lots of these on this site)
A word describing somebody who is uncomfortable being openly amiable and kind, so they give more subtle hints to their goodwill while maintaining a disagreeable exterior.
