frontgardenchat
/ˈfrʌntˈɡɑːdənˌtʃæt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Vorgartenfesselung (Deutsch) · podatrampa (Español) · tailpiège (Français)
The conversation trapped by pruning: neither party can leave without rudeness, so both stay.
The frontgardenchat is anchored by shears, a hose, and mutual politeness. Topics run from hedges to hospitals to the hedge again. Escape is signaled by the shears, and both parties enjoy the capture, which is the trap's design.
Etym. — front garden + chat — the conversation with no exit except rudeness.
