I find that meta-conversation can make a good default for small talk in the absence of inspiration to talk about anything else in particular, but that has the disadvantage of seeming a bit strange when talking to people you do not know very well, which is the situation in which the problem is most likely to arise in the first place.
I use this as a fun test. people who don't find meta analysis fun aren't the kind of people I get along with anyway, so I'm just saving time.
