Levels of talk, small talk etc

We sort of know what small talk is and that most of us struggle with it.

But are there other levels of talk?

Big talk I suppose we'd mostly define as talking in depth about either important things or things we're particularly knowlegeable of.

But what about medium talk? Is there such a thing? What is it and why do we hear so little about it?

  • Fearn and I speak in Doggeral to each other.

    Boris and I are becoming proficient in each others languages, for example he says hello and calls me by name, I an speak a little cat.

    But the question of medium talk struck me because there isn't such a thing, there's a whole level of social conversation, after small talk, thats never talked about or explained. As an autistic person, I find this a bit confusing and wonder if it might be a cause of social difficulties?

  • Why isn't there medium talk though, I agree with Alexa though and it's probably a conversation with more depth than small talk but not enough to be big talk.
