Often times that's because the topic being discussed is something uninteresting enough that I'd rather just smile and nod instead of admit I don't know what an art deco is. I pretend I know what people are talking about just so they'll shut up sooner. The sooner the conversation ends the sooner I can stop pretending to be interested in art decos.

this is one of my biggest peeves of social interaction honestly. just the shit where people constantly say "yup, uh huh. mhm"

Sometimes it's also just funny to agree with shit you don't understand. So that's fair tbh.
