OMG! Say something you're being a conversation bottom!
The state of euphoria in which you more or less dictate a conversation. Usually achieved through some combination of a strong personality, an energized mood, respect and intrigue from your audience, and a string of successful jokes/valid points. In such a state, the people you're shmoozing with will tend to agree with most of the things you say, and laugh at even your mildly funny jokes. You also possess the power to dismiss topics or people you're uninterested in from the conversation, usually by either remaining silent or comically pointing out a flaw in reasoning or the unfunniness of a joke. In short, you are the alpha.
