luing

The act of asking someone a question in the hopes that he/she will, out of politeness, ask the same question in return, so that you can tell him/her something without sounding like an ass.

The question asked with such intentions is called a lu, not to be confused with the other definitions of lu on urbandictionary.com

A: "Hey how was your day?"
B: "It was okay... How about yours?"
A: "WELL, let me tell you everything that happened..."
B: "Oh, you were luing me. I don't want to hear your shit."

Another example of luing:

A: "How'd you do on that last test?"
B: "Terrible... you?"
A: "I got a perfect score, plus 15 points of extra credit. Thanks for asking."
