The idiom "small talk" refers to casual and light conversation, typically about unimportant or trivial topics. It originates from the idea of engaging in chit-chat or informal discussions that do not delve into significant or substantial matters. Small talk serves as a way to establish rapport, break the ice, or maintain social interaction without delving into deeper, more serious subjects.
