Undieu

[uhn-doo]

v. to prolong a conversation despite the fact that someone has already initiated its end.

Use: Travis avoided his elderly neighbor Mr. Kraus because of his unrivaled ability to undieu anything and everything: “That’s fascinating about your cat’s cough, Mr. Kraus, but I really have to go.” “I saw someone looking through your trash yesterday.” “ You did?” “Yes sir. I had to scare them away with my colt magnum.” “Oh. Great. Thanks. Well, I’m meeting a friend, so…” “Do you eat?” “Yes. I eat.” “One time, Travis, I ate seven pounds of fish.” “…Well would you look at that! I really need to take this call.” “But your phone didn’t ring.” “Yes, it did.” “The thing about phones is that a communist invented them. Did you know that Shirley Temple was a communist? I used to cut her hair.”
