double conversation

Usually through texting or IMing, two people are speaking to one another about a certain topic and during the delay on one of the person's responses, the other person puts in something irrelevant to what they are about to answer. When the other person finishes typing the first response, he/she then begin to respond to the irrelevant comment during the time the other person responds to the first answer. Thus continues a spiral of confusion which usually ends in them asking one another what they are talking about and what they are referring to, topic 1 or 2.

When you find your self cornered in a conversation where somebody is trying to either trap you into loaning money, shoes or asking you out, you might want to create a double back door conversation leaving yourself two ways out.
