Levels of talk, small talk etc

TheCatWoman

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?

  • Medium talk is an interesting idea. Most conversation day to day is probably medium talk. I sometimes like it myself, for example returning the 'have a nice afternoon' from a supermarket operator by asking about their day. they often say something like, 'I'm at college' so it's nice to return the favour by showing interest in their subject. It's not small talk or big talk, but a bit more than a conversation.
