conversational rape

A forced conversation with a person who is obviously not interested in talking to you; talking to a person who is trying to read or study, stopping a person in the hall who was avoiding eye contact with you, and seeking a person out for a pointless conversation are all conversational rape.

The traumatizing conversational method of a person who thinks he/she is intellectually superior to you and therefore takes every opportunity to interrupt you and insult every idea you may want to add to the largely one-way conversation. Very common among city intellectuals and professionals. The training ground is usually an Ivy League school, but an education in this art often begins in the home of people who have large objects permanently stuck in their rear end and/or people who have something to prove because they are afraid we will all find out how stupid they actually are or how small their wee-wees are.

When an unfortunate, socially-awkward douchebag decides to engages a hapless victim in unwanted conversation. The victim is forced to carry on the conversation out of social courtesy (the very principles of which the rapist disregards). The victim is left feeling used and in need of therapy. The rapist proceeds to the next victim.

When someone unconsensually overtakes a conversation, allowing no other party to speak and most often speaking only of themselves and their past glories.

When someone talks to you against your will or forces you to engage in a conversation after you have already refused.

Conversation rapists usually target the same victim(s) multiple times.

when someone talks about something for way too long without comprehending the social cues you are giving off that clearly explain that you are completely uninterested in what they are waxing philosophically about
