Also known as ‘white people social’ or ‘white woman social’ as this type of social interaction is most regularly used between two white women.
Definition:
To be overly nice to someone whom you either actively dislike or just aren’t interested in interacting with, but don’t want to cause a scene and risk disrupting the social order.
-The interaction is extremely disingenuous and is basically an over-the-top version of the basic “hi how are you” “I’m good how bout you”.
-Pet names such as “hun”, “sweet”, “darling” are often used. Interactions are always brief lasting up to 7 back and forth rounds of conversation but usually only 4.
-To an outside observer, this often looks like an interaction between lifelong best friends.
Tiffany: Jane! So nice to see you!! Have you been doing? *huge hug and cheek kisses*
Jane: well howdy, hun! I’ve been great! How are you and the kids?
Tiffany: Everyone is doing great! Jake just graduated from NYU and Lily is pregnant with a baby girl!
Jane: Fantastic! Send them my love!! See you later. *walks away*
John: I had no idea you and Tiffany were so close.
Jane: what? No, I can’t stand that bitch. I was just being country social
