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.

: Cool. "Let's do lunch some time." "Let's get together soon." etc. There are so many of them we use that even neurotypical people get confused.

Phatic expressions[edit]
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)
