I'm reading this article, living in Toronto, and having recently lived with somebody who grew up in Malaysia - I have no idea where I picked it up either but I definitely say it. I don't find small talk super easy - I'm usually deep in thought and so jarred by what's said that I miss the opportunity. Some phrases that have been super useful for me, even though I can remember times I didn't even like hearing them: - "How's it going?" easiest hello - "No Worries" easiest thank you - "Have a good one" easiest goodbye And armed with these phrases I can tackle almost any wild small talk that pops up in my day :)
