(The next day)
Person 1: Hey are you on your way?
Person 2: What? I never said i was coming over.
Person 1: Wow okay Anchovy.
When someone who is socially awkward doesn't know what to say when being spoken to or being asked simple questions, they decide to stay completely silent the entire time (aka âgageningâ). Usually occurs in group meeting, business calls, and friendly gatherings.
Person 1: Hey man, how much is that cup of coffee?
Person 2: âgageningâ
Person 1: uh...hello?
