you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through *small talk*.

Could anyone define *small talk*?

Thanks

Small talk is a meaningless conversation you have with someone you don't know well... How are you? Nice party, isn't it? Can you believe how cold it has been this week? How about those Red Sox?... The point of it is to try to be polite.
