I propose changing this article's name to '''Phatic Expressions''', explaining what a phatic expression is, why people use them, and then adding sections for other phatic expressions people might use besides this one. For example, recently there was a discussion on twitter about how people use "Let's get coffee sometime" as a phatic expression.

: I'm not sure. In cases where the technical term is not familiar to many (I'd never heard of Phatic Expressions), I think it's easier to navigate to a topic of interest if the title is meaningful to everybody. Within the page itself, certainly, introducing the technical term for a thing and expanding with explanatory examples adds interest and an educational element.

I propose changing this article's name to Phatic Expressions, explaining what a phatic expression is, why people use them, and then adding sections for other phatic expressions people might use besides this one. For example, recently there was a discussion on twitter about how people use "Let's get coffee sometime" as a phatic expression. Martienne17 (talk) 11:21, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
